Default NASCAR Race Fontana March 26th Any Corvettes Needed?

In past years Corvette owners had participated at the NASCAR race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. The Corvettes drove the NASCAR drivers around the track on the parade lap However the last few years,
Toyota has had all the promotional contracts tied up, so only Toyota vehicles (pick-up trucks) can haul the drivers around..obviously no
Chevrolet Corvettes. However, I noticed at the first two races this year, they had Camaros for the pace car. So did Chevy just sponsor those two races? or will Chevy be involved at Fontana and Corvettes will be given the chance to carry the drivers again? Anyone have any information on this?

Toyota sponsors the Track not the Race so that is why we no longer help with the Parade lap. Since Fontana does not have an Indy race this will be another year without our Corvettes. Sorry it was fun.
