Chevrolet announced Thursday that they will campaign a Chevy Camaro in the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series. The iconic sports car will replace the Chevy Impala SS.

“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.”

Chevrolet has more wins, more manufacturers’ championships and more driver’s championships than any other manufacturer competing in the Nationwide Series and currently leads the NASCAR Nationwide Series in wins, manufacturer standings, and in the driver point standings. MORE>>>
