2013 Chevy Impala Concept


Massive adjustments are happening over NASCAR and for this coming weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway one other transformation will likely be taking place. While the Nextel Cup drivers are driving their old familiar cars which they have been driving for years after the first two races in the Car of Tomorrow, the rest of the Chevrolet entries are to be powered by a new engine.

2013 Chevy Impala ss Review has been developing an engine for nine years now and for the first time it is going to make its racing debut in Samsung 500. "This engine now called the R07 truly started out as R99 as a result of we ran it the primary time in 1999," mentioned Mark Cronquist, chief engine builder for Joe Gibbs Racing.

For this coming weekend it's anticipated that six groups will run the brand new engine. Gibbs Racing will place an R07 in the cars of Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, and J.J. Yeley Hendrick Motorsports' Casey Mears and Kyle Busch, and Scott Wimmer, driving a fourth Richard Childress Racing entry.

General Motors world's largest automaker and distributor of Chevrolet Impala exhaust is hoping to have the engine ready for this season's upcoming race but sadly a few technical difficulties slowed the progress of the project. Cronquist could be very a lot excited to get the brand new engine into competition.

Chevrolet's 5 of 6
The Chevrolet crew has gotten to an excellent start this year in Cup successful five of the six races. The reigning champion Jimmie Johnson has won three of the 5 races whereas Hendrick with teammates Kyle Busch, and RCR's Kevin Harvick have received the other two for GM. The victory of Matt Kenneth's at California Speedway in a Ford is the one blemish on Chevrolet's report for this season.

Out of the eight Chevy drivers which might be currently in the top 10 in Cup points, two have received at Texas. Jeff Burton gained the inaugural Cup race in Fort Price within the yr 1997 however he was a driver of Ford at that time. Stewart gained on the 1.5 mile Texas track final fall. The totally different drivers successful every of the 12 Cup races at Texas only two others have been in Chevrolets particularly Terry Labonte who received in 1999 and Dale Earnhardt Jr. who won in 2013.
