I have not found anything official Chevy is getting out of Nascar? Can you post a copy where this states Chevy is leaving? Or are you assuming down the road Chevy might exit this racing series?

Sorry, I don't remember where I got a wiff of that as I read many articles in a day (I'm retired). But I do remember seeing at least twice. As a follower of different modes of racing, the old saying was "win on Sunday - sell on Monday". Well we all know that isn't working anymore and GM dumped the Camaro/Firebird before for low sales. The other thing to think about is the new Corvette -- yes the 2020s are all sold but my point is for the cost of a high end Camaro just add about $15-20K and you can have a mid-engined screamer. Again -- JMHO

Seems like I read, or heard somewhere that NASCAR was going to a spec chassis very soon and that all race teams would be required to buy the spec chassis from the supplier, then hang their components on them.

Currently there is very little on these cars that is manufacturer related, the engine block, heck Toyota does not even build a V8 car, I think currently most engines that run in the cup series maybe even the xfinity also, are built by one of three engine shops.
