Rick Hendrick Buys First 2025 Corvette ZR1 for Charity

NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick has recently purchased the first 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 for an astonishing $3.7 million at the Barrett-Jackson auction, with proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross. Known for his extensive collection of over 220 cars, including 122 Chevy Corvettes, Hendrick has a penchant for acquiring the first units of Corvette models, having previously bought the first C8 Corvette and C8 Corvette Z06. The ZR1, powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 1,064 horsepower, pushes Corvette into hypercar territory with a retail price starting at $174,995. Hendrick's passion for Corvettes traces back to his teenage years, influencing his successful ventures in both NASCAR and the automotive business. His purchase marks another milestone in his illustrious collection and underscores his ongoing support for charitable causes.
