Video: Recalling a hundred years of excellence in motorsports
General Motors celebrates a century of Chevrolet this year and recently released a video to treat fans, car lovers, and Chevrolet owner to a few minutes of nostalgia as we watch how the brand zoomed its way to motorsport history.
Although today we only see Chevrolet mostly on the Corvette LeMans racing program and the NASCAR, the brand has been involved with a lot of racing series through the years.
In the video, you will get a glimpse of the USA-1 Camaro of Bruce Larson, the Chaparral 2 of Jim Hall which won the Nurburgring, and some NASCAR action during the time when the term stock car sstill had some meaning. You will also hear the name of Juan Manuel Fangio who drove a race car for Chevy in 1940. The video will also not be complete fi you will not hear Dale Earnhardt who is considered Chevy Racing’s patron saint.
The video though is not really enough to give justice to the long history of Chevrolet racing. There are also still photos used for the production. It will be lovely to see more videos of the racing series that Chevy joined and ruled. Videos of the most beautiful Chevrolet pace cars will also be much appreciated.
We just hope Chevrolet will tap someone to make a longer documentary about its racing history so they will not have to inject a ton of promotion about their current lineup in a video where the past should be the center of attention.
