The new 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1 will pace the NASCAR Daytona 500 race this Sunday, February 26th. Catch it with 3-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon behind the wheel!

“Chevrolet and I have a great history at the Daytona 500 and it’s an honor to drive the 650-horsepower Camaro ZL1 pace car for the largest, most historic race of the season,” Gordon said.
