Chevrolet has revealed a shocking pink Corvette Stingray, set to serve as the official NASCAR Cup Series pace car.
The dramatic-looking Corvette will appear at two forthcoming Cup Series rounds, as the NASCAR Playoffs reach a critical stage.
Fans at Talladega Speedway this weekend for the YellaWood 500, and next weekend’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville, will get a chance to see the pink Stingray.
The car was created by Chevrolet to help raise money for the American Cancer Society, and its ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ initiative.
Yellow flags bring donations
“Chevrolet stands with the American Cancer Society’s efforts to end breast cancer,” said Todd Christensen, director of motorsports marketing at Chevrolet.
“When the pink Chevrolet Corvette Stingray pace car leads the NASCAR Cup Series field for the next two weeks, we hope fans will join us in raising funds for ACS by participating in ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ events across the US this October.”
Chevrolet will also donate $500 for every lap spent under caution behind the pink Corvette at the two NASCAR events, up to a maximum of $25,000.
In addition, a further $1,500 will be gifted to the organization for each Chevrolet driver that earns a top-10 finish in the two participating events – again up to a total of $25,000.
A history of support for good causes
Chevrolet has been a partner of the American Cancer Society for 15 years. It has contributed multiple pace cars with special liveries to serve at NASCAR races, and made additional donations.
In 2024, a total of 54 caution laps were completed in the two races, raising $18,900, while $40,250 was donated in 2023.
Last year, Chevrolet created a bright pink Camaro SS for use as the official NASCAR pace car.
The pink Camaro is due to be sold at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall Auction, with 100 percent of the hammer price going to benefit the American Cancer Society.
