GM
Racing Resigns for 2008
Chevrolet announced that it will
continue it's support of sport compact drag racers through the BOTI racers
contingency program. "We are looking forward to an exciting season of
competitive drag racing," commented Fred Simmonds, Marketing Manager, GM
Racing. "Through this program, we have an opportunity to give back to Chevy
Cobalt owners by rewarding successful racers in all of the classes."
The
General Motors Sport Compact Drag Racing Program was kicked off at the 2001
International Auto Salon (IAS) in Long Beach, CA. During IAS, GM identified
sport compact drag racing as the highest opportunity to gain awareness in the
sport compact market.
The first Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire
front-wheel-drive drag race cars were unveiled at the 2001 SEMA show. In
February of 2002, GM Racing made their competitive debut in Palmdale,
California. Since then, the GM Racing and their supported teams continue to
race their ECOtec-powered Chevy Cobalt race cars to multiple wins and
record-setting performances across the country.
