The “BIG Three” totals:
General Motors [Chevy, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick]: 1,187
Ford Motor Co. [Ford, Mercury, Lincoln]: 828
Chrysler [Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler]: 467 (not active in NASCAR since 2012)

NOTE: in August 1971, Bobby Allison won at Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC running a Mustang [Ford],
Allison was not and has not been credited with that victory [is listed as 84 wins not 85], as he ran an ‘unapproved car’.
NASCAR’s weekly media book lists 48 races run in 1971 but only 47 manufacturers counted as winning.
from many sources and kept up to date since by Jayski.com.(6-4-2017)

NOTE 2: NASCAR and my counts show Mercury as having 96 wins, a few have it at 95.  NASCAR Media shows 96 and my extensive research in late 1990’s using many NASCAR Stats books. show the total at 96.  A few others, like Racing-Reference.info (owned by NASCAR) show it a 95 due to an error from the 1971 June 6 race at Dover.  RR shows Bobby Allison winning in a Ford.  The books and many sites (ESPN, MRN) show the manufactuer being Mercury, so that is what I use as my count (11-1-2023)

Chevrolet clinches 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Manufacturer Championship: At the green flag in the Round of Eight elimination race at Martinsville Speedway, Chevrolet clinched the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Manufacturer Championship. This marks the third consecutive year, and 42nd time overall, that Chevrolet has won the prestigious title in NASCAR’s premier series. Chevrolet won its first manufacturer championship in the NASCAR Cup Series in 1958, later recording a streak of 13 consecutive titles between 2003 – 2015. In addition to its 42 NASCAR Cup Series manufacturer championships, Chevrolet has also amassed 850 victories and 33 driver championships in NASCAR’s premier series – continuing Chevrolet’s legacy as the winningest manufacturer in NASCAR. The accolade caps off a title sweep for Chevrolet across the NASCAR national ranks, with the manufacturer already clinching its 11th NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Manufacturer Championship and 25th Bill France Performance Cup in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway last weekend. This marks Chevrolet’s fifth time sweeping the manufacturer championship titles across all three NASCAR national series – also accomplishing the feat in 2012, 2005, 1998 and 1996.(Team Chevy – full PR here)(10-29-2023)

CHASE ELLIOTT CAPTURES 800th WIN FOR CHEVROLET IN NASCAR CUP SERIES: Chase Elliott’s win of the inaugural EchoPark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in his #9 Llumar Camaro ZL1 1LE scored the 800th all-time victory for Chevrolet in NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) competition. This unprecedented win secured a significant milestone for Chevrolet as the most successful manufacturer in NASCAR history. In addition to reaching this 800th triumph for the brand, Elliott brought the Camaro ZL1 1LE to Victory Lane for the 14th time since becoming Chevrolet’s flagship NCS race vehicle in 2020, and the fifth time in the 2021 NCS season.
Due to inclement weather, the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix was called with 14 laps to go. Elliott’s triumph marks the first appearance for the NCS in its debut at COTA, a 3.4-mile, 20-turn, counterclockwise track circuit track with multiple elevation changes that that flow with the hilly landscape. This win was Elliott’s 12th NCS career victory, his sixth road course win, and first of the 2021 NCS season. It also celebrated the 268th victory for Rick Hendrick and Hendrick Motorsports. Chevrolet’s rich heritage in NASCAR competition began when Fonty Flock took the checkered flag on March 26,1955 at Columbia Raceway in Columbia, South Carolina in his ’55 Chevy. Sixty-six years later, the ‘Bowtie Brand’ continues to set the mark. To date, Chevrolet has earned 32 Driver titles and 39 Manufacturer titles en route to its 800 victories. No manufacturer has carried more drivers and teams to championships in NASCAR’s premier division than Chevrolet.(Chevy PR)(5-23-2021)
