The BEST of NASCAR at Le Mans! Pure Sound & Highlights | Garage56 Camaro ZL1 V8 Stock Car

- Dedicated to a car that certainly lived up to the hype, yet also divided opinion a lot more than I expected. People either loved or hated the freedom machine! Ran under the Garage56 Invitational Class, celebrating 75 years of NASCAR, driven by arguably the strongest lineup at the 24 hours of Le Mans this year with 2009 F1 champ Jenson Button, 7 time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and former winner of Le Mans , Nurburgring and Spa 24 hour races Mike Rockenfeller, ran by the 16 time NASCAR champions Hendrick Motorsports and containing a V8 likely putting out somewhere in the region of 800bhp, this was always going to be a treat to watch. It spent most of the week comfortably ahead of the GTE class cars, even blasting past a number of LMP2's that found themselves in its way when a straight came along! Sadly a late gearbox rebuild meant it fell down the order, but it still finished and made it past the localised monsoons that fell mid race wiping a number of the field out, yet the car that normally doesn't run in the rain at all, kept on the road. Personally my only disappointment with it is that we'll never see it used again, and it's likely to be the closest we're seeing to a Cup race in Europe for at least a decade if not more. NASCAR, get on it!

This car is basically the real-life equivalent of when Lightning McQueen raced in the World Grand Prix in Cars 2, and the child and longtime NASCAR fan in me loves it.
I know right? they should have had it in red and with the number 95 on the side!
I was thinking the same thing. Almost brought me to tears
true
no, this the difference between a normal house fly and an asian giant hornet
Ikr? Cars 2 was ok in my book, but I really loved the racing scenes, especially the extended version of the first lap of Tokyo.
I heard the other drivers hated it because they try to nap in-between driver changes but they couldn't sleep good with that thing on the track. If that's true I only love it more
I wish my alarm clock sounded as divine as this beautiful car... I see no reason for anyone to be complaining.
Funny I can sleep right through noise like that lol
@@LimitPro1 same but the Europeans aint never heard anything that loud before lol
@@gwc_garagecough cough F1 cough cough
@@axdan_8 cough cough isn't as loud anymore cough cough
For those wondering why a NASCAR cup car is in the Le Mans, this is because it's NASCAR's 75th anniversary, which coincides with 24 Hours of Le Mans' 100th anniversary. This car isn't really competing with the other cars because it's under the Garage 56 entry. This entry is essentially a class of its own intended to showcase the latest in automotive technology, thus they aren't bound to the same restrictions as in the case of other cars, save for the safety requirements. In this car's case, NASCAR is testing the potential technologies that could become the future standard in their cars
That and it's around the 50 year anniversary of Nascars last attempt at le mans. They did it before back in the early 70s
Well.
I would guess the technologies are approved after this race 😂
@@maxthomasbueno4352 the le mans car had a carbon body, wider front end, wider tires and additional aero for the corners. A normal cup car is sheet metal. It also was supposed to have a hybrid system but that was dropped
I am very impressed the the headlight technology in the NASCAR. I’ve never seen that
So what your saying is were most likely not gonna see this again 🥺
If this isn't added in Gran Turismo and the next Forza Motorsport, I'm gonna throw a fit. Jesus christ, what a car.
I agree , they definitely need this in gran turismo 7
There's a stock car in Forza 5. But it's behind a paywall
I guess you do not read ? Look that car was free to be running with the others ,because it was invited and a coincidence of the commemoration of Nascar and Le Man's !
So in order to be presentable on speed ,suspension , brakes , overall performance , Hendricks put the best team to build the Camaro and the best to drive it 24 hours ! Again garage 56 is not a team garage , is a distinguished guest only ! If that car has to be homologated in a category it will not have such enormous horsepower ,or may have to be at the minimum weight compliance ,no lighter ! Yes we did enjoyed seen racing 24 hours , people world wide was surprised ,because it was little amount of media coverage , then after the car was presented and running ,the roar characteristic of V8 Nascar Ponies ,it did a sensación all over ! The Germans didn't like it because there were Porsches, Mercedes, Audi, BMW , that for every manufacturer Le Man's is a display of their products , for France almost the same , but Peugeot didn''t show he's potential , but that is racing , I give Hendricks ,he's team totally 💯 applause and credibility ,when a team wants to be seriously represent,a brand, a company , a country ! Well done ,let's not forget there is a Corvette racing that series all year , so GM is not sleeping !
Hell yeah dude!!! I’m with you 💪🏾🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥✊🏿
@@dabro1569 You guys want to see the Camaro GTD ! OR THE GTD PRO FROM GM !
Australia it's your turn. Please convince the folks involved with Supercar V8 to bring a car to Le Man next year.
I hope so. I want to see those Australian V8 Supercar monsters tearing down Mulsanne Straight.
u need to be invited by garage 56 to race in le mans and not convince someone to race
Nascar was invited
@@playerunknows4032 I'm sure somebody in Australia can talk to somebody in the Le Mans organization for the invite.
Agreed!
Seeing and hearing that Camaro growl amongst all the Le Mans cars is a certified "HELL YEAH BROTHER" moment.
1. HELL YEA
2. we can turn right as well
3. WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER
When it went by, everyone turned and looked. That's field presence. What a marvelous race car!
Yeah cuz it was the only car there that shook the earth as it passed, Merica, fuck yeah.
Yhea thats called FREEDOM
Those guys drove the shit out of that car.
during the race the commentators said that this was the car that kept the spectators awake during the night :). Best sounding racecar of the grid and what a race it was.
that's American muscle, loud and obnoxious
@@michaelfrench9597 That's Europeans. Loud and obnoxious about how Americans are loud and obnoxious.
@Michael French I mean it's the 24 hours of Le Mans. If the cars were quiet EVs or muffled turbocharged 4 cylinders all the time you might as well put Valium in the spectators drinks. At least a cross plane V8 reminds people of the beauty and character of internal combustion. Unlike Formula 1's garbage sounding V6's do now
@@michaelfrench9597 It's not like the Europeans have never heard it before.
@@matrinezkevin11492 _De gustibus non est disputandum_ old chap.
I can't stand watching Nascar, but also... can't get enough of watching highlights of G56 at Le Mans. Such a sick machine!
Totally agree .Much more entertaining instead of 500 miles turning left . Actually testing the equipment vs who can bump who out of the way.
Have you watched Nascar cup racing? It is way more entertaining than circle track.
Was best sounding car at the Le Mans
@@RATTL3R186 I don't necessarily mind oval racing. To your second point though, that's what I hate the most, is that it's basically WWE with wheels, and only the last small handful of laps actually matter. The rest is a slugfest that leads to meaningless and confusing "playoffs".
@@dreadnaught688 I have, and in general, I still think Nascar is a bit of a joke regardless. I don't mind oval/circle track racing as a whole; what I dislike the most about Nascar specifically is the meaningless carnage, pointless playoffs, and that in most races, only the last handful of laps matter.
From what I gather the Europeans enjoyed having a loud American v8 flying around the track.
People like cars that make sound- who would've thought
and based off the expectations of nascar and the hate of america which everyone harbors it went very well
@@kripticlunar8198what do you mean hate of America? There’s a hate towards ovals and that’s it. Europe is nothing without America and vice versa.
@@xSCHEFwe don't hate the america, we hate the americans...
I'm kidding :)
@@OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOok I love the Americans :))
I'm in no way a NASCAR fan, but I loved watching that Camaro blow by P2 cars on the straights, great example of running unrestricted engines and no BOP to handcuff the cars. Great team and driver lineup, the car would've finished much higher if not for the brake change and transmission change late in the race. And the crew won the Pit Crew competition with a FLOOR JACK, not air jacks like everyone else. I say put some better quick change brakes like the GTE Corvette C8R uses, fix the transmission issue, get Jimmie, Jenson and Rocky back and give it another go next year. Congrats to the team and drivers for a job well done, they made it to the finish and gained a lot of respect and a lot of fans, great job!!
As an American, who stopped watching NASCAR about 20 years ago, this is what NASCAR needs to adopt to survive. At minimum, 50% of their races in the US need to be road courses and they need to have a couple one-off "team" endurance style races (e.g., 12 hours of Daytona NASCAR on road course, etc). Then I'll return to NASCAR.
I wouldn’t mind seeing them run dirt tracks also, with super late model chassis, at Eldora for instance
@trlprk agreed... can you imagine if the series was a blend between big ovals, short ovals, dirt track, road courses short distance, road courses endurance? I'd tune in every weekend because that type of series would separate the real men from the boys.
Uh no. There should be a balance between road courses, super speedways, high banked tight ovals, low banked tight ovals, regular ovals, short tracks etc.
@@Pankypops you are missing my point.
I hate NASCAR but I totally agree with you. The absence of these things is the problem.
Quicker than the GTE's and was giving the LMP2s kittens too. Sounded awesome trackside.
But its lose
@@gathel8574 what about its lose?
@@gathel8574what?
@gathel8574 did you expect it to outrun hypercars? Nothing about that car could compete with a hypercar, maybe a different aero setup and more horsepower it could've outran a hypercar in a straight line. Considering that it made it the whole 24hrs is amazing in itself.
@@gathel8574 it was the only one in its class so it won?
This is a test to see if fans would like nascar to become more like this racing. I would love to see nascar be more like this.
I just want to see NASCAR do that damn exhibition race over here that they keep whispering about!
Nascar races some of their races on road courses on a regular basis every year in the USA. They do NOT just race on ovals.
Nascar does run on road courses every year in the USA. Not just ovals. Educate yourself please.
@@scrambler69-xk3kv I would like to see more
This definitely a “CARS 2” moment right here bro
only thing missing is it being red and number 95.
@@mr6johnclarkand a f1
@@formula5temporadaLOL
Fans at the end of the pits cheered the nascar style stops
I would love to see NASCAR make the changes that were made to this Camaro to an entire field of 40 or more cars and have a 24 hour endurance race. It would be epic.
I think maybe not the 24 hour part, I think this should be left to wec series but I’d love to see them with this car on a proper road course like COTA
And like Le Mans ,evening rock concerts,, amusement park, big screens and bring the best on entertainment ,party all night long ! That is what the 24 hour of Daytona is missing ,besides to cold ,to early in the year , it should be switched by October , the best month !
@@juancarlosalmiron2055 COTA, Road America or Sonoma would also be excellent choices for that type of all around event.. Even Road Atlanta or Virginia Motorsport park would be good choices.
I watched ford vs ferrari, there used to be stock car 24 hour races in the US
I'm a little surprised that NASCAR have never pitched a 12 hour endurance race or something like that today. I get that NASCAR races are technically endurance but in today's stage age, are they really? Always thought the All Star race would be perfect for the idea. Every car runs 3 drivers, no stage crap, make it a proper test of man and machine. A dumb idea in reality im sure, but NASCAR is no stranger to dumb ideas.
Just hearing that V8 made me smile so god damn wide. Im not even american but I do appreciate a love sound like dat
That’s the American thinking! Every street here has a loud ass sports car within a minute!
I bet there are so many people like me that aren’t nascar fans but loved everything about this coming into le mans and was pleasantly surprised to see how well the car performed and how it managed to finish the race, so impressive
Yeah, I think I'd put myself in that category.
Watching this monster YEET on those crazy right handers, tetre rouge, indianapolis and porsche curves 😮
Sure all the Hypercars and high grade cars look sleek. But that great big HULK of a Nascar is just faster. What a Magical thing to see lmfao
Those front brakes glowing at 8:13 are sick.. Love it.
The current Cup Cars do that as well. Usually it only comes up on road courses and short tracks, but if you watch the Martinsville night races, you can see that glow as well.
@@blueredlover1060 it is super cool. just imagine how hot those brakes are here compared to normal though. They used carbon brakes instead of the steel ones they use normally.
@@mifphilip I’m sure you already know this but incase you didn’t Carbon brakes actually need to be super hot in order to work properly. So I think it glowing is actually a good thing
Imagine if it was running a super. GOD that whine would've given me goosebumps every single time it passed.
Oh jeez I’m just imaging some kind of Hellcat whine coming every couple of minutes. That would be a test for the body to work with such much luck hormones.
@Volvo_EG hellcat whine? You.know cars had superchargers before hellcats right?
At the grand stand every time this car drove by it was thunder and lightning. I may be a Porsche fanboy but this thing turned the most heads, including mine.
A proper sounding race car
You need to get out more...

@@thethirdman225beeeeeeemm beeeeem beeeeem 🐝🌈
The original plan was to have air jacks but WIC personally called Rick Hendrick and asked them to bring a traditional NASCAR pit crew with a jackman!
And they still placed 5th overall for the pit competition
@@typhoon1575and won the gte class which it was placed in
@davidbullock1101 it wasn't placed in any class actually.
But it was faster than gte
The pit crews in Nascar are athletes themselves. Don't underestimate any of those guys
When Travis Pastrana said NASCAR was the most difficult thing he’s tried, I had to reconsider my (ignorant) ideas about it.
6:51 i love how the rear lights fade into purple due to the blue lights mixing with the brake lights when at distance.
It was illegal (in our state), but many hot-rodders of my older brother's era ('60s/'70s) liked to "blue dot" their taillights in the center, causing a similar effect.
They'd sometimes get pulled over for it: now, someone can drive 60 in a 30 with a Borla exhaust roaring - and nothing happens...
@@donholl yeah, I remember the blue dots people would put into the taillights.
The hand jack and no door put stops were also a fan favorite NASCAR style
Love the roaring v8, what a badass car and team
That pure V8 sound next to all the robot beep boops.. nothing like it.
when you start at 39th, get to 24th, your british gear box breaks, you spend an hour fixing and climb back to 39th
it woulda been better off with a TH-400 :D
How did it break?
@@cristopherpino9689 normal wear and tear it seems, as it sounded like a tumbler full of rocks, gear paddle shift might have damaged it
@@cristopherpino9689
It simply wasn’t designed to be pushed that hard for that long. They had tuned the engine up a bit and a 24 hour endurance race is a bit strenuous.
@@hornetf18 british POS behind that V8. They should've used a different transmission.
This thing could keep up with LMP2 in corner exit acceleration & halfway in the straight.
Torque goes yeeeehhaaaww
The live stream i saw it was actually keeping up, if not gaining, on a few LMP2 cars on the Mulsanne straight. I noticed it could brake later and accelerate quicker out of the corners than some of the LMP2's.
@@austinhord8317 saw that too. Nearly shat my pants when I realized 😂
lmp2 cars are 4.2 liters(256 cubic inch) with 500 HP, garage56 is a 5.8 liter( 354 cubic inch) the old school NASCAR R07 engine pushing right at 700HP with out any turbo's or supercharger
“Torque goes yeehaw” is the best thing I’ve heard all day haha
The highest position it got to was 23rd which is about halfway into the LMP2 grid.
As an old guy @ 65, the sound of the raw power coming from that big American V8 made me proud!
There are many fantastic powerful cars that compete at Le Mans, but very few an average person could ever hope to own. The ZL1 Camaro is such a cool car.
just make one of to wecking yard like the days
So happy to see an American Camaro unrestricted run at Le Mans. Hopefully more racing comes from this. Like Nascar makes Le Mans a track they go to for say 150 laps.
I want to see a GT styled NASCAR race. Checy gets Corvettes, Dodge gets Vipers, Ford gets GTs, and Toyota gets Supras. Let the manufacturers show off their unique vehicles and may the best vehicle and driver win.
That thing is unhinged! Like a pissed-off, fire-breathing dragon that eats racetrack for brekkie.
Don't forget no one could sleep because if this car 😂
The alarm clock that goes off every 4 ish minutes 😂😂
@haydenunsell all jokes aside almost everyone loves this car it was a really nice treat I honestly watched for the vettes and g56 don't care for hypercars the caddy was good too though
Good
Why would you want to that was pure art I have not been a Nascar fan for years but this was brilliant
That's nothing new at Le Mans.
Such a GLORIOUS sound!
and only ONE cam
That's 750 horses of pure naturally aspirated V8 power expressing itself on the racetrack, peeps!
I'm surprised some folks didn't like #24. Oh, well, to each his own. In my opinion, it was one of the highest high points of the race, right up there with Ferrari's overall win, the privateer LMP2 winners, and the factory Corvette's last hurrah class win. Of course, any car that finished was a winner, too.
Don't forget Cadillac's podium finish.
@@ZekenificentVery good american cars.🔥🔥🔥🔥
I certainly enjoyed it, I think the detractors saw it as out of place. But that seems like a very flimsy argument to make to me. Shame it required an entire gearbox rebuild late in the race. But then again where else has a NASCAR been driven for 24 hours straight?
A Cadillac 3rd Overall , podium with ,Ferrari,Toyota , it was a GM great achievement !
@@PescaraProductions lol out of place. I'll never understand the purists. Ok maybe a little, because I was a teenager with some irrational fanboyism at one point in my life. But the older I get the more I appreciate every aspect of motorsport.
To look down on this fine example of American muscle is no better than the rednecks I know who dismiss the mere idea of hybrids. I know the Caddy has changed some minds though. Life is more enjoyable when you open your eyes and appreciate things, not close them and hate for no real reason.
This is the first time I've been ok with a stock car having one lug nut
I think NASCAR is contemplating a future change with F1-style rims and tires...
The current cup cars are single nut wheels.
Cup cars are moving to f1 style wheels soon if not already
@@c0mplex564 they made the switch in 2022.
@@kristoffermangila Just because centerlock nut rims are used in F1 doesn't mean they are called F1 styled rims.
They said the track workers cheered as it finished on the cool down lap
Thank You Mr. Hendricks, no matter where she finishes I’m so very proud, going to the greatest race in the world!👍👍👍👍👍
Was at Le Mans. That blue car outnoised all the others !
That car is VIOLENTLY American and I freaking love it! LMAO
Every time it passed by it sounded like America lol
Man! I am so impressed with the performance of that team, drivers and car. Maybe more entries next year?
Only a one off sadly. Though I have to admit I think the Garage56 entry should exist every year for some sort of special car as long as it cam keep pace

Production quality on all of these LM24 videos has been another level. 🎉
I've got the art of rushing videos out down quite well now😂. Don't worry the mistakes will come
It's so weird seeing a NASCAR with working taillights, but I love it
The only reason I watch the race was because of this one BADASS american bald eagle! Awesome car and a great team!
2:16 : The car's like "KACHOWWWW"
Sound is just beautiful I could listen to it all night
I was never a fan of the Le Mans 24 race. Personly i don't like the cars, but i watched nearly the whole race because of the NASCAR. Was absolutly hyped for the race & the reaction 😅
Same here! Only reason was the NASCAR:D
Pure bliss; absolutely beautiful car. Thank you team 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇬🇧.
That car was a rocket ship out the corners!
Ngl it's weird to see a nascar with working headlights.. but then again that is just such an amazing car
I love how an American car is the loudest thing there
Imagine an entire class of these running the Rolex?
Been there done that ~2001,
Also Imsa's old GTO/GTU cars were tube frame racecars covered in sheet metal shaped to resemble a road car. In essense, 90s IMSA and 00s Grand Am GT cars were road-course Nascar-racers with road car engines.
Should I mention that 90s GTO/GTU cars didnt have doors, and had window nets in the same vein as the sister company Nascar?!😂😂
the entire team watched ricky bobby highlights before the race
One THE best things I’ve ever seen in Motorsport!
every time I tried to take a nap in the grandstand, the sound of the G56 Camaro immediately put me on my feet 😂
The beautiful sound of an NA American V8
NASCAR drivers are underrated
1:20 flame spitting 🔥 This car is a monster
NASCAR has made technological advances that I've not seen any other Racing Series make.... And, my Dad having worked for GM for 32 years, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA..... There's a sense of Pride, here.....
Chevy FUGGIN' Thunder, baby!!!
Thats the sound of FREEDOM 🦅🦅🦅
I want this design for all Nascar road courses.
I love how lit up it is to let other drivers know it’s the g56. it’s like the final boss of the track. Heavier and more powerful and racing no one but itself
GTE beat them in race lol
Hendrick and Penske should collaborate and bring a Camaro and a Mustang, that would really blow minds at Le Mans
Whether you like nascar or not that damn thing sounds incredible.
You don't need doors, you just need...... NOISE !
This was a great thing to learn from for the Crew and NASCAR as a whole... The fact that it did so good as it did is actually kinda mind-blowing!
that deep growl is intoxicating 9:00
NASCAR is fucking another level of stupidity if they don’t capitalize on this project & get the idea of doing a Endurance event at @WatkinsGlenInternational on the Full Circuit, & im not talking IMSA. Or just do a longer event & add some night Racing into it. Everyone has wanted to see NASCAR run the full curcuit at WGI for a long time now & it’s the perfect way & opportunity to do so.
Hell even if they just pair up with IMSA and do a side by side event with them would surely drag in a lot of new faces
@@PescaraProductions nascar own imsa
Some NASCAR bigwig has already said they're excited about the things to come off the back of the G56 at Le Mans. I'd say that sounds like they have ideas/plans for something but dunno.
@@bigd7481 plus I think nascar is going to Montreal next season.
@@alexmaccain2362 I liked the Xfinity races at Montreal so I’m personally not bothered by hearing about this. Personally I think NASCAR should be running a schedule that more resembles a Indy car schedule & needs to do good road races but it also needs to factor in what tracks are compatible to create a good race. The Glen as of recent is popular because it’s fast, yet technical enough to be challenging & it flows from corner to corner as does Road America. The G56 setup could be like a allowable road course deal but not for ovals. There’s much to see from the success of this project
And that ladies and gentlemen is what a “real race car” sounds like
If this keeps up heck yeah I'm going to be a NASCAR fan for life!
Pure American thunder! 🇺🇸
They engineered that thing to compete
NASCAR Cup Car in Le Mans?
Yup typical Forza Motorsport 7 Lobby in real life right here.
I was think the same thing
More like Motorsport 4
Not enough crashing here
Wow. A nascar that can left AND right. Now I’ve seen everything.
That thing sounds so raw at Le Mans 🎉 the lights on it look so fucking good, NASCAR should have a segment of the race called BLACKOUT when the stadium lights cut off or to max low setting if it's a night race and it's just the cars racing with their headlights, tail lights, underglow why not lol.
Nascar and Camaro came to play, and they put on a great performance.
Most memorable attendee in years
@@PescaraProductions no kidding. I bet Enzo Ferrari was rolling over in his grave after they got beat in lap times.
That is bad ass, kinda odd to see lights on a stock car but the V8 roaring is awesome. Heard other drivers lost sleep for that V8 screaming. It's just the sound of freedom boys lol.
Got to hand it to them, when Americans come to play, they come prepared
They came, they saw, they battered GTE
I love it that NASCAR decided to go to Le Mans....AWESOME!!!!!
Fantastic, old school and so much better as a result, us petrolheads needs more cars like these in motor sport.
I hope we get a NASCAR DLC for Grand Turismo 7
There are two Camero's that have accomplished something extraordinary in motorsports in history. Bigred Camero from LA California and this beast. Both of these cars are something of dreams.
I saw this car run several laps at MotoGP in Austin. The car wasnt as loud as a bike, but it sounded HEAVENLY and was about as fast.
i hope this beast shows up on gt7
lets hope so
Super moment que ce gros V8 qui roule. Il remplace le bruit de la nouvelle Corvette qui ne fait plus du tout un bruit de Corvette. La diversité du plateau était exceptionnelle. Un vrais bonheur 🤪
they should have gave it lightning McQeen look, that would have been so epic and fitting :D
This should be a great idea for a whole new NASCAR type series. "Super endurance NASCAR" with almost no regulations. Set up just like this.
Holy Mother of God! Imagine if HMS and a couple other Nascar teams could do this in '24... My God,these guys could go head to head with LMP 1&2! What are we waiting for? This is the new era of racing....
It already can. This was just an experiment. With a few years of fine tuning I bet we'll have Nascar add Le Mans to its schedule after this.
Has everyone forgotten what Ken Miles did with a 7 L Ford nascar engine .!!!
No, many race fans haven't forgotten about Ken Miles. But why Ken Miles? , many other drivers had success with cars so engined, much more notably Jackie Ickx, amongst others. Ken Miles is not that special.
No…but it’s 2023
180⁰ headers on it didn't produce the thunderous sound we hear here!
ho amato questa auto appena l hanno accesa !!! ne voglio una accesa sempre nel mio giardino di casa !!!
I love this, would be even better with a full grid, not necessarily a 24 hour but maybe a 12 hour at Sebring or Nurburgring, that would be something.
Absolutely awesome car. Fantastic experience to see it live at Le Mans. It was a car for the fans.
They should create at NASCAR class at Le Mans next year.
I'd love to see Nascar have a special division or something where the team competes in every diacipline (or at least most) that the car can reasonably qualify for. Keep the bread-and-butter of it for the speedways but have a division that races endurance, standard road races, hill climbs, maybe some form of rally. Make the concept revolve around the "All-Around Race Car". Evokes the original thought of "stock cars" being what you had and took a wrench to so you could race whoever, whenever
Would have been cool to see this car take on Pikes Peak tbh. Part of me really hopes that they keep hacking this car into various roles to promote NASCAR. I think that would be a real winner for them. In terms of PR this Le Mans trip was probably the best thing they've done in 20 years.
Oh that would be dope! Having NASCARs in GT events would be super cool to see! Just seeing the Corvettes and Camaros dukeing it out make my GM homer heart happy lol
Nothing like an American V8.
