Following a weekend of exciting races at Martinsville Speedway, the company clinched the manufacturer's championship across all three of NASCAR’s national series—Cup, Xfinity, and Craftsman Truck.

This victory marks Chevrolet's historic 42nd Cup Series title. Notably, it is also their third consecutive triumph in this category. Over the years, Chevrolet has amassed an impressive tally of 850 victories and 33 driver championships in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Heading into the season finale at Phoenix Raceway, Chevrolet stands tall with 47 wins out of the 89 national series races contested in 2023.
