Chevrolet has revealed the three cars that will be used to pace the three NASCAR races at this weekend’s Daytona International Speedway. On Friday, a Silverado 1500 RST will pace the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ NextEra Energy 250 while on Saturday, a Camaro SS 1LE will lead the field in the Xfinity Series’ Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner 300. Meanwhile, a special Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will serve as the pace car for the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
The trio of Chevrolet vehicles feature the
Corvette’s Rapid Blue paint option which will also be offered on the 2022
Camaro. They also feature red, white and black accents inspired by the 2021 Daytona
500 logo. This year marks the sixth time that a Corvette has paced the Daytona
500 and the 14th time that a Chevrolet has served as pace car.
The Corvette Stingray, Camaro SS 1LE, and
Silverado 1500 RST all feature 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engines. With
420 hp, the pickup truck brings up the rear and is followed by the Camaro with
its 455 hp and the Corvette with its 495 hp.
