Hendrick also heaped praise on the Canadian auto workers who build the Camaro ZL1 and who will build the 2013 Impala SS at the Oshawa plant.
And he said that if NASCAR is to continue growing it must start putting race cars on the race tracks that more closely resemble what consumers can buy at Chevrolet dealerships.
That is the main reason GM decided against putting the Camaro in the Nationwide Series to compete against Ford’s Mustang and the Dodge Challenger last season.
“I know that GM said if (the Camaro) couldn’t be relatively the same as the showroom car they didn’t want to put it in the series,” Hendrick said.
But he said he is excited that the 2013 SS model will, in fact, almost mirror what will be available at dealerships.
“We do have a 2013 Impala SS in our shop,” he said. “Actually Kasey Kahne is testing it today. I have seen the production car and the race car and they are identical.
“You can definitely tell it is a Chevrolet. It will be a rear wheel drive, fuel injected V8.”
