Some Cool Corvette Racing Records That Surprised Even Us

It’s no secret that the Corvette has achieved more than its share of success beneath the checkered flag. In fact, America’s sports car has been driven to victory in a number of historic races and has logged numerous records—many of which are yet to be broken.
