Get ready for a thrilling race and a meaningful cause! Chevrolet is gearing up to make a powerful impact on the American Cancer Society's mission. This year, as the Cup Series drivers battle it out on the track, Chevrolet will be leading the charge with a special pink Chevrolet Corvette Stingray pace car. But here's where it gets exciting: every time this pink beauty leads the field under caution, it will help raise money for the American Cancer Society. Each lap under caution will generate $500, with a potential total of $25,000! This money will directly support the 'Making Strides Against Breast Cancer' initiative.
Additionally, Chevrolet is stepping up their game by donating $1,500 for every Team Chevy driver who secures a top-10 finish at Talladega Superspeedway and Martinsville Speedway. With Kyle Larson, William Byron, and Chase Elliott in the running for the championship, this could be a significant boost for the cause. These drivers are determined to secure top-10 finishes at both tracks to increase their chances of reaching the Championship 4.
This isn't Chevrolet's first rodeo when it comes to supporting the American Cancer Society. They've previously utilized NASCAR playoff races to showcase a pink pace car and raise funds. Last season, the pink Chevrolet Camaro SS completed 54 caution laps, resulting in an impressive $18,900 donation. And get this: the special pink Chevrolet Camaro SS with the Straight Talk Wireless 400 decals will be auctioned off this Friday at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall Auction, with all proceeds going directly to the American Cancer Society.
"We are proud to celebrate 15 years of working with the American Cancer Society," said Todd Christensen, Director of Motorsports Marketing & Activation for Chevrolet. "It's an honor to carry the ACS logo on the pace car during October and leverage our motorsports platform to raise awareness and donations for the fight against breast cancer." This partnership highlights Chevrolet's commitment to making a difference, one race at a time.
