Did they change the front bumper in a couple hours? This was posted this morning on their facebook

yay a US SSV, oh wait...

The extra batteries might be to avoid what happened last year with the ZL1 pace car right before the nationwide race

There was 4 or 5 full size batteries in the trunk on the floor and a spare tire wedged in front of them as well.

Hah it does, here's another SS, albeit a bit more crushed...

Sorry, just going off what I saw inside the trunk while it was on fire. We had to disconnect the regular battery, located in the trunk as well on these cars but on the drivers side, it had no burn marks

It was due to the strobe lights batteries in the trunk
