Chevrolet is showing its support in the continued fight against breast cancer with the return of a specially-themed pink Corvette Stingray that will serve as the official pace vehicle for the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series races at Talladega Superspeedway and Martinsville Speedway. This season, Chevrolet will celebrate 15 years of supporting the American Cancer Society and its “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” initiative.
“Chevrolet stands with the American Cancer Society’s efforts to end breast cancer,” said Todd Christensen, Director, Motorsports Marketing & Activation, for 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.”
The specially-themed pink pace car will once again help drive donations for the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” initiative with every caution lap it completes in the Talladega and Martinsville races for NASCAR’s premier series generating a donation of $500 (up to $25,000). A special addition has been added to this year’s campaign with Chevrolet pledging to donate an additional $1,500 (up to $25,000) for each Team Chevy driver that earns a top-10 finish in the two participating events.
In 2024, 54 total caution laps were completed among the two races – raising a $18,900 donation for the American Cancer Society. The pink Chevrolet Camaro SS pace car that participated in last year’s campaign is set to be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall Auction Friday, October 17, with 100% of the hammer price benefitting the American Cancer Society.
The first of two races in this year’s campaign will take place at Talladega Superspeedway, with the pink Corvette Stingray making its on-track debut for the NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 on Sunday, Oct. 19 – the penultimate race of the Round of Eight.
