A number of additional vehicles will be on-site for visitors to view and learn from a team of product specialists. Vehicles and attractions include:

• Production vehicles like the Silverado 1500 Trailboss, Blazer RS, Traverse Redline, Colorado Crewcab Z71, Equinox Premier and an SS Camaro SEMA Concept.

Just what I was waiting to hear! I couldn't imagine holding the IMSA race without the C8 being there given Chevy's presence there in years past. I'll be taking plenty of pictures on Friday!
