Jeff Gordon acknowledged that Chevrolet has doubled down on its commitment to NASCAR and has been supporting all of its teams irrespective of their rankings. He added that by Chevrolet passing out all the data they have on wind tunnel, CFD, or simulation it is prompting the teams to put up good fights and aims for victory.

“I think Chevrolet has really doubled down their commitment in NASCAR and how they can support all the race teams,” Jeff Gordon said.

 “But it’s not just the big three that we talk about with Childress and Hendrick and Trackhouse. It’s all the way through the field. The more you can keep that communication and data and different types of information streaming to all of the teams — whether it be the wind tunnel, CFD, or simulation — the better all your teams are going to be and contribute,” Jeff Gordon added.
