2025 Chevy Youth Sports: Sponsoring CT United Academy

Chevrolet performance met American pride and charitable giving in a remarkable way at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction. On January 24, a bespoke, one-of-one Stars & Steel–inspired Corvette ZR1X sold for an impressive $2.6 million, with 100 percent of the hammer price benefiting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The special edition was based on the fastest car from an American manufacturer to lap the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, making it not only a rare collector’s piece, but also a symbol of American performance and innovation. The donation supports Tunnel to Towers’ mission of providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children, building custom smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, and offering housing and services for homeless veterans. “To honor those who serve, Chevrolet created a one-of-one edition of America’s quickest production car, the Corvette ZR1X,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet. “We’re proud to know the winning bid will go directly to supporting first responders and veterans in need across the United States.” The winning bidder was Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group and owner of Hendrick Motorsports. His winning purchase includes the hand-painted Stars & Steel–inspired ZR1X finished in a custom Dark Satin Steel exterior, blue brake calipers, a Santorini Blue interior, and blue accents on the carbon aero rear wing. The experience also includes the opportunity to help build the twin-turbo V8 engine, the first-ever Corvette delivery at the GM Design Dome, and a collection of curated memorabilia. General Motors and Chevrolet have supported the Tunnel to Towers Foundation for more than a decade, helping raise over $11.6 million for wounded veterans even before this auction. In total, Chevrolet’s charity auctions of eighth-generation Corvettes at Barrett-Jackson events have now generated $15.5 million for charitable causes.
