Editing Chevrolet (section)

== Sport ==
Chevrolet enters a variety of cars in sporting events around the world and is particularly well known in [[NASCAR]], [[IndyCar]], and the FIA [[World Touring Car Championship]].

=== NASCAR ===
Major teams include [[Hendrick Motorsports]], [[Richard Childress Racing]], and [[Trackhouse Racing Team]], who all drive Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE-branded cars. Hendrick has twelve championships, Childress has six championships, and former Chevrolet team [[Stewart-Haas Racing]] has two. Chevrolet is the [[List of NASCAR Manufacturers' champions|most successful manufacturer]] to be involved in NASCAR with thirty-nine manufacturer's titles and the most recorded wins by a manufacturer. Previously, the [[Chevrolet Lumina|Lumina]], [[Chevrolet Monte Carlo|Monte Carlo]], Impala, and the [[Holden Commodore|SS]] were used in both the [[NASCAR Cup Series]] and [[NASCAR Xfinity Series]].

Chevrolet teams in the NASCAR Cup Series currently use the Camaro ZL1 1LE, while Xfinity teams run the Camaro SS and [[NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series]] organizations race with the Silverado.

=== IndyCar ===

Chevrolet claimed six consecutive [[Indianapolis 500]] wins from 1988 to 1993 and five consecutive [[Championship Auto Racing Teams|CART Series]] championships from 1988 to 1992, with notable drivers such as [[Rick Mears]], [[Al Unser Jr.]], [[Michael Andretti]], [[Danny Sullivan]], [[Arie Luyendyk]], [[Emerson Fittipaldi]], and [[Bobby Rahal]].

Chevrolet replaced Oldsmobile as the General Motor brand at the [[IndyCar Series]] from 2002 to 2005. [[Hélio Castroneves]] won the Indianapolis 500 and [[Sam Hornish Jr.]] the championship, but the American brand had little success the next years.

Chevrolet returned to IndyCar in 2012. After several years of [[Honda]] being the only engine provider, Chevrolet rejoined the series in 2012. Major teams include [[Team Penske]], [[KV Racing]], [[Chip Ganassi Racing]] and [[CFH Racing]] who all use Chevy engines. Chevrolet won several races including the Indianapolis 500 in 2013, 2015, 2018–2019, 2023–2024, as well as seven drivers championships.

=== Tudor United SportsCar Championship ===
The [[Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]] runs in the GT LeMans class for Tudor United SportsCar Championship, which was, until 2014, the [[American Le Mans Series]] in the GT class, when ALMS merged with Grand-Am to form Tudor United SportsCar Championship. [[Corvette Racing]] started in 1999 at the Daytona 24-hour race and has since won eight consecutive ALMS GT1 manufacturers and team championships and seven ALMS GT1 drivers' titles.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.corvetteracing.com/2011-overview.shtml |title=Corvette Racing official website |publisher=Corvetteracing.com |date=October 4, 2008 |access-date=November 6, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111031015639/http://www.corvetteracing.com/2011-overview.shtml |archive-date=October 31, 2011 }}</ref> The Corvette also takes part in the French

In 2005, when the Chevrolet brand was re-launched in Europe, Chevrolet took part in the [[World Touring Car Championship|WTCC]] with a version of the [[Chevrolet Lacetti|Lacetti]], developed by the UK-based [[Ray Mallock]] Ltd (RML).

In July 2012, Chevrolet and English Premier League football team [[Liverpool F.C.]] announced a four-year partnership that made Chevrolet the official automotive partner of the club. The deal ended two years prematurely, in 2014, following GM pulling the Chevrolet brand out of Europe. GM's subsidiary in the UK, [[Vauxhall Motors]], took over from Chevrolet as the club's automotive sponsor.
