Chevy making progress on 2013 car

Though Chevrolet isn't ready to reveal the model it plans to run in the Sprint Cup Series in 2013, Jim Campbell, Chevrolet's vice president for performance vehicles and motorsports, says the design phase for the new car is progressing nicely.

"The 2013 Chevrolet entry for NASCAR Cup is on track," Campbell told Sporting News on Saturday. "We've had just a tremendous experience working with NASCAR and other OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] to make sure we're all heading in the right direction in terms of the rule set.

"And there's also a lot of great collaboration between our team at Chevrolet and Chevrolet design, as well as NASCAR, in making sure the car is really much in terms of how it looks to what we sell in the [showroom]."

Campbell said Chevy has developed a recommendation to submit to NASCAR as to which model it would like to race starting in 2013 but isn't ready to announce the selection.

"NASCAR is fully aware of it," Campbell said. "They've had a chance to see it. I can't reveal it at this point, but I'm very excited about where it's going and the ability to make a strong connection between what we race on the track here in the Cup Series and what we sell on the showroom floor."

Chevrolet currently runs the Impala SS in the Cup and Nationwide series.
