ChumpCar concentrates on fun, inexpensive racing. ChumpCar was formed for racers who want to have fun without the mardi gras atmosphere.
Tony Stewart races ChumpCar - he really does!
NASCAR star Tony Stewart decided he just had to be in a racecar Easter weekend of 2010 so he ran the ChumpCar 24 hour race
at the famed Virginia International Raceway.
Since ChumpCar requires each racecar to be worth no more than 500 bucks, Tony had to sideline his Stewart-Haas Racing Office
Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala SS and run what The Dead Milkmen would call a "Bitchin' Camaro."
The Stewart-Haas Racing crew brought three cars to the event with Tony's #14 finishing 8th out of 29 competitors.
Two other NASCAR teams were at the event with Hendrick fielding a car and also Roush-Fenway Racing running a heap.
Nope, none of the pro teams won the event which means a bunch of ChumpCar teams got the honor of saying they kicked Tony's ass.
