Chevrolet has been in NASCAR competition almost since the beginning.  Chevrolet's first Grand National win came in 1955 in Columbia, South Carolina (Fonty Flock was the driver).

Currently NASCAR's top series, the Nextel Cup, uses Monte Carlos, while NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series uses Silverados.
