We're only two weeks away from Corvette taking the track at the Grand-AM race at Indianapolis. July 26-29 is your chance to see four races and with the NCM handling the Corvette Corral you know you'll be in good company!

A variety of packages are available for the race and Corvette Corral. NCM will have drawings for a Pace Car ride, Hot Pit visit and private garage tours as part of the Corral. Learn more online here.  NOTE: You MUST use promo code B400CC to see the Corral registration on the Indy site.

USA Today Seeking Corvette Photos

In celebration of the 59th birthday of Corvette, USA Today is compiling a series of Corvette photo slide shows and is seeking your pics!

The categories of photos they need are:
- Corvettes at Landmarks
- Corvettes and Weather (ie Corvette with lightning in background)
- Classic Corvettes (older than 1970)

When submitting your photo, please include your first and last name, hometown, model year of the Corvette and a brief description of the photo and where it was taken.

Corvette Club Newsletter & Website Contest
 

Each year at the NCM Anniversary Event Labor Day weekend we award a number recognition plaques. Now is your chance to enter your Corvette Club's newsletter (printed and/or electronic) and website into the contest. We award 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each. This year's entries will be judged by Western Kentucky University's Department of Journalism.

To submit an entry for the newsletter contest, please print one issue of your club newsletter (any issue created Sept 2011 - Aug 2012) and mail it to: National Corvette Museum, Attn: Katie, 350 Corvette Drive, Bowling Green, KY 42101. Please note on your submission whether it is an electronic newsletter or printed newsletter. You may enter both categories if you have two separate newsletters. Emailed newsletters will not be accepted except from International clubs. NEWSLETTERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY FRIDAY, AUGUST 17.

Corvette Clubs may also submit their website for judging online by August 17. We ask that only your club Ambassador submit your website to avoid duplicate entries. If your club does not have an Ambassador, the President may submit the entry. Click here to enter your website online.

Collector Car Appreciation Day Tomorrow!
 

July 13 is a day to celebrate the joy of being a collector car owner, and to enjoy driving it to work! Enthusiasts across the U.S. will be revving up for this special day designed to celebrate the freedom of owning and driving collector cars of all brands.

Did you know that when your collector car is insured with the NCM Insurance Agency and American Modern, you're able to drive your car to work for this day since it falls within the policy's definition of "occasional pleasure use"? If you aren't currently covered through our collector car insurance program - we'd love to have the opportunity to provide you with a free quote online here.

And if you are getting your collector car out and about tomorrow, be sure and post a photo on our Facebook Fan Page!
