Chevrolet will make their 200th V6 era start in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES next weekend when the 2024 season gets underway with the Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg presented by RP Funding.
The milestone comes as the Bow Tie prepares to mount a defense of their Manufacturers championship that they won last season as they attempt to go for their ninth title since their return to the INDYCAR SERIES in 2012.
Of their 199 starts to date, Chevrolet has won a total of 111 races including 12 Indianapolis 500 wins.
Jim Campbell, U.S. Vice President of Performance and Motorsports at Chevrolet said:
“Each year, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES grid gets more and more competitive, but our Chevrolet engineers, drivers, and teams worked hard in the off-season in preparation for St. Petersburg and the 2024 season. “Kicking off on the streets of St. Petersburg, we’re excited to carry momentum from both the 2023 Manufacturers Award as well as capturing the coveted and prestigious Indianapolis 500 victory and sweeping ovals last season. St. Petersburg has been good to Chevrolet since 2012, and we’re looking forward to potentially notching a ninth victory on the challenging street course.
