In 2013, Chevrolet claimed 14 manufacturer, driver, and team championships, making Chevy the most successful nameplate in all of professional motorsports. Chevy’s titles in 2013 included wins in NASCAR, IndyCar, ALMS, GRAND-AM, and the Pirelli World Challenge series.

“We had an amazing year in 2013, winning more championships in professional motorsport than any other manufacturer,” said Jim Campbell, General Motors’ U.S. vice president, Performance Vehicles, and Motorsports, in a press release. “Our success was the direct result of considerable preparation, strategy, teamwork and great drive from our teams, drivers, and partners in open wheel, stock car, and sports car racing. We are looking forward to continuing that momentum for 2014.”

Chevy performance has no plans of slowing down in 2014, as an announcement to debut the all-new Corvette C7.R at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show has enthusiasts already excited for the new year.
