Ever wanted to take few hot laps around Daytona\u2019s epic tri-oval like Dale Jr.? Your ship has come in. Make that your Chevy.<\/p>\n

Beginning in late 2016, General Motors Co. will offer a car delivery experience at the famed Florida Super Speedway west of Daytona Beach that will allow buyers to pick up their new Chevy then take it on track. Accelerate your new Camaro under the starter\u2019s stand. Flog your shiny Corvette down the half-mile long back straight. Dance your V-8-powered SS around Turn 3\u2019s 31-degree banking.<\/p>\n

The experience builds on Corvette\u2019s successful buying experience at its Bowling Green assembly plant \u2014 but the Daytona experience will be open to more Chevy buyers. Adjacent to Gatorade Victory Lane in Daytona\u2019s infield, Chevrolet has constructed a special \u201cDelivery Center\u201d where buyers can pick up their cars after placing their order through a local U.S. Chevy dealer. The experience will come as a priced option on select models (details are still being finalized).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are determined to deliver exceptional service through our dealers and unique experiences that only Chevrolet can offer,\u201d said GM North America President Alan Batey. \u201cLike driving your first miles in your new vehicle at the famed Daytona International Speedway.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the hot laps, buyers will a get a tour of the Speedway\u2019s 500-acre grounds, a keepsake to remember the experience, and validation that the car was delivered and driven around the famed track.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chevrolet Delivery Center is the type of elevated experience that guests visiting Daytona expect,\u201d added Daytona International Speedway president Joie Chitwood III. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to witnessing that first delivery later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

For an extra $990, Corvette buyers can take delivery of their new car at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky \u2014 then take a private tour of the plant where the iconic sports car is assembled. But the Daytona experience will also immerse consumers in one of the cathedrals of motorsport.<\/p>\n

Daytona has long been important to Chevrolet as a showcase for the brand\u2019s performance capabilities.\u00a0Corvette this year finished a dominant 1-2<\/a>\u00a0in the GTLM class, besting Ferrari, Porsche and Ford. Chevy will also compete in the Daytona 500 this weekend \u2014 \u201cThe Great American Race\u201d \u2014 against Ford and Toyota entries in a 500-mile marathon that kicks off the 33-race NASCAR Sprint Cup series. This year,Chevy\u2019s drivers will include household names<\/a>\u00a0like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick and 2015 NASCAR champion Kurt Busch.<\/p>\n

Chevrolet is also a founding partner of Daytona\u2019s Rising redevelopment project \u2014 a massive $400 million investment that has transformed the front stands into a kind of motorsports stadium, complete with premium amenities and attractions. The attractions include 20,000 square feet of new Chevy vehicles displays stacked over three concourse levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cChevrolet\u2019s commitment to racing originated more than a century ago with Louis Chevrolet and remains strong today,\u201d said Batey.<\/p>\n
