World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner Wins 2015 Chevrolet Colorado Loaded With “Technology And Stuff”

Chevrolet Sponsors 2015 MLB All-Star Game Tickets Giveaway
In its capacity as the official automotive sponsor of Major League Baseball, Chevrolet has done some pretty cool things.

Jayson Werth is Going to Jail for Speeding
Back in August, we reported that lumberjack/Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth had been caught going 105 mph in a 50 mph zone on July 6th in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Demand for the 2015 GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado has been so high that unpaid lunch breaks have been scrapped at the GM truck plant in Wentzville, Missouri.

No Chevy Super Bowl Commercials to Air This Year
Chevrolet and Bengals head coach, Marvin Lewis, have something in common now: a strong aversion to the Super Bowl.
