Three bucks might not get you very far, but it does get you an entry to win a custom 1961 Corvette Restomod and a new 2021 Corvette Stingray Coupe in the Corvette Dream Giveaway! When you win the Vettes, the Dream Giveaway will even throw in a check for $43,000 to pay the taxes. So you won’t have to make the decision of selling one to keep the other. But perhaps the best thing is that you’re helping a variety of veterans and children charities for the opportunity and so the more you donate, the more entries you will have. CorvetteBlogger readers get 50% bonus entries on donations of $25 and up.

[VIDEO] IndyCar Drivers Sébastien Bourdais and Dalton Kellett Take a Lap at Road America in the C8 Corvette Pace Car

This weekend the NTT IndyCar Series is racing at Road America for the REV Group Grand Prix and the pace car for the event is a Red Mist 2021 Corvette Stingray. Over the last few IndyCar races, we’ve taken notice of the pre-race coverage by the IndyCar series on social media that features a veteran driver taking a rookie around the track in the Pace Car. While we believe the idea is that the drivers will be discussing the track, inevitably they end up having a conversation about how nice the new Corvettes are.

At the beginning of June, Chevrolet announced that it was cutting allocations for the final 2021 Corvette order cycle while also committing to build all those cars for customers whose orders were at Order Status 3000 or above.

For members of the Corvette Team, it seemed like deja vu from 2020 all over again.

According to Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter, that’s exactly the situation they were trying to avoid.

I passed a Chevy dealership in North Georgia today, and instead of cars and trucks being packed in like sardines the way they usually are, all the available vehicles were neatly lined up in one row of probably 10 or 12 units.

Have you thought about adding an oil catch can to your C8 Corvette? Perhaps after this video, it will be the Corvette mod that moves to the top of your list.
