In one of the best-kept secrets in motorsports these days General Motors unveiled the 2013 Camaro for NASCAR's Nationwide Series at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday.
"Chevrolet is proud to bring the Camaro to the NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2013," said Jim Campbell, vice president, Chevrolet Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. "The Camaro Nationwide race car incorporates many of the distinctive styling elements of the production Camaro, including the unique power-bulge hood and deep recessed grille. In addition, the design incorporates the distinctive halo light rings and dual-port grille appearances, and the gold bowtie."
"Our team of Chevrolet designers and aerodynamic engineers did a fantastic job capturing the great looks and styling cues of the production Camaro, while providing our NASCAR Nationwide teams with a highly competitive aero platform," said Pat Suhy, manager, Chevrolet Racing Oval Track Group. "For the remainder of 2012, our engineers will be busy working with our Chevy teams on wind tunnel and on-track testing to fine-tune the car in preparation for next year. It will be great to see Camaro compete on the track against its showroom competition starting with the 2013 season opener at Daytona."
When the new Nationwide Series body style debuted a few years ago Chevrolet said that they had no models which would fit the NASCAR regulations. This is a reversal of that policy and compares with the pony car image to the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger in the series.
