The 2025 Blazer EV SS—the quickest SS model Chevrolet has ever produced—will pace the 67^th DAYTONA 500 at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) on 16 February. The Blazer EV SS, set to go on sale later this quarter, is equipped with Wide Open Watts (WOW), which propels the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and produces 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft torque.

The pace car set for the DAYTONA 500 is a production vehicle with no performance upgrades and features custom graphics and embedded strobe lighting.

The Blazer EV SS also features front Brembo brakes, a sport-tuned chassis, a 17.7-inch-diagonal color touchscreen, standard Super Cruise driver assistance technology and offers an EPA-estimated 303 miles of range.

This marks the first time a Blazer has paced “The Great American Race,” the first time an EV has paced the race and the 16^th time Chevrolet has led the Daytona 500 field to green.

Chevrolet will also debut its Blazer EV.R NASCAR Prototype ahead of the DAYTONA 500. The prototype represents a joint effort between NASCAR and OEM partners, with the intent of exploring new and emerging automotive technologies. Chevrolet will also pace the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck races at DIS that weekend.
