Chevrolet’s NASCAR charity program will cover five races instead of two in 2026. The pink Corvette Stingray itself will serve as the pace car only twice — at Talladega on October 25 and Martinsville on November 1. For every caution lap it leads the field, Chevrolet will donate $500 to the American Cancer Society.

There is a second mechanism. For every Team Chevy driver who finishes in the top 10 at Las Vegas, Charlotte, Phoenix, Talladega or Martinsville, the company will donate another $1,500. Each of the two channels is capped at $25,000, so NASCAR can generate up to $50,000 for the program.

Scale is the main difference from last season. In 2025, the rate was already $500 per caution lap and $1,500 for a Team Chevy top-10 finish, but both mechanisms were tied only to Talladega and Martinsville. In 2026, the top-10 donation program expands to five races. Last year the NASCAR campaign raised $32,500, while Chevrolet’s total support for the American Cancer Society exceeded $1.7 million.

GM Authority identifies the pink car as a 2027 model-year Corvette Stingray, while Chevrolet’s official release does not specify the model year. The production 2027 Stingray, meanwhile, has a new naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 rated at 535 hp and starts at $71,300 in the United States.
