Casey Mears and Dale Earnhardt Jr. also had new Corvettes included as part of the group delivery, but were unable to join their teammates for the occasion. We had a wonderful time hosting the group for a VIP tour of the Museum and lunch in the conference room. “We always love coming to the Museum.” Hendrick shared with us during the visit. He also presented the Museum with a donation to the Building Campaign for the hard work and coordination put into their special visit.        Document the Build Process of Your New Corvette We have opened a new program that is an exciting opportunity for new Corvette owners who want to document their Corvette's "build process" at the GM Bowling Green Corvette Assembly Plant!
