Chevrolet Clinches 17th Bill France Performance Cup
Award Recognizes Manufacturer Championship in NASCAR Xfinity Series
DETROIT (November 21, 2015) – With Kyle Larson’s win in the Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Chevrolet clinched the Bill France Performance Cup in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The 2015 achievement marks the 17th time the Bowtie Brand has captured this prestigious honor.
It is also the second time Camaro has earned the award in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The Chevrolet Camaro made its series debut at Daytona International Speedway in February of 2013 and has since made 30 trips to Victory Lane.
"Chevrolet is honored to win the 2015 Bill France Performance Cup in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for the 17th time,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. Vice President of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “Every point matters during the season, but Kyle Larson’s win combined with the second-place finish by Austin Dillon in No. 33 Camaro were absolutely critical in clinching the championship. This award is the result of dedication and determination by all of our team owners, drivers and crews.”
En route to securing the Bill France Performance Cup, Chevrolet drivers have won 11 races this season in the Xfinity Series. This season marked a milestone for Chevrolet in Xfinity Series competition when Chase Elliott, piloting the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro, earned the brand’s 400th series victory at Richmond International Raceway in September.
In addition to Elliott, the following Team Chevy drivers contributed to this special award with victories: Austin Dillon (4 wins), Kevin Harvick (2 wins), Regan Smith (2 Wins), Kyle Larson (1 win), Paul Menard (1 win); along with manufacturer points-paying finishes by Ty Dillon, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Brian Scott.
The 2016 Xfinity Series season kicks off with the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway on February 20.
