Football Season Is Here: What Makes a Great Tailgate Vehicle?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a time to come together, raise awareness, and support those affected by breast cancer. At Speedway Chevrolet, we’re proud to stand alongside Chevrolet and the American Cancer Society in the fight against breast cancer. For more than a decade, Chevrolet has partnered with the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program, helping fund groundbreaking research, provide free rides to treatment, and offer a helping hand to those who need it most. Together with Chevrolet dealerships, employees and customers, we contributed over $1.8 million in 2025 alone and nearly $24 million to the cause so far. This month, our dealership is joining in that mission. You’ll see pink accents throughout Speedway Chevrolet as we honor survivors, remember loved ones, and spread hope for a future without breast cancer. We encourage our community to get involved, whether it’s by making a donation, wearing pink on Fridays, or joining a local Making Strides walk. The Lee Johnson Auto Family as a team will be participating in the Making Strides of Snohomish County walk starting at Boxcar Park in Everett on October 24th. The event opens at 9:00am and the walk begins at 10:30am, with speakers and events in-between. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement working tirelessly to end breast cancer as we know it. In the last 30 years alone, the American Cancer Society has invested more than $600 million in breast cancer research and over $5 billion in research for all cancer types since 1946. Together, we can make a real difference. When we drive for something bigger than ourselves, every mile matters. Join us in the fight against breast cancer. Because we’re stronger together. https://www.speedwaychevrolet.com/chevrolet-american-cancer-society Sign up and join the Lee Johnson Auto Family team to walk for a cure: https://secure.acsevents.org/team/LeeJohnsonAutoFamily Where: BoxCar Park - 1200 Millwright Loop W, Everett, WA When: Saturday, October 24, 2026.

Originally Posted January 2026 Chevrolet has announced the Stars & Steel Collection, a limited-edition lineup of vehicles created to coincide with the United States’ 250 th anniversary. The collection highlights distinctive patriotic design, modern performance, and a commitment to American craftsmanship. The Stars & Steel collection spans five of Chevrolet’s most iconic and hard-working models: Corvette, Silverado LD, Silverado HD, Silverado EV, and Colorado. Each vehicle in the collection will feature exclusive exterior colors, subtle American flag-inspired graphics, and select premium options designed to set them apart. True to the brand’s identity, every model in the collection is proudly assembled in the United States, underscoring Chevrolet’s continued investment in domestic manufacturing and innovation. Beyond design, the initiative carries a strong philanthropic component. For every Stars & Steel model sold, Chevrolet will donate $250 to nonprofits supporting the Veteran community, reinforcing Chevrolet’s longstanding relationship with America’s armed forces. In addition, Chevrolet will create a truly unique centerpiece for the program: a one-of-one Corvette ZR1X will be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson in January. All proceeds from that auction will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting fallen and injured service members, first responders, and their families. The collection made its first public appearance at America’s Game – the Army-Navy Game held on December 13 th. Production of the Stars & Steel Collection is expected to begin early Spring 2026, with package pricing to be announced soon. This tribute builds on Chevy’s long-standing presence in the U.S. automotive industry. Founded in 1911, Chevrolet quickly became known as “the people’s car,” offering dependable, attainable vehicles for a rapidly growing nation. Over the decades, Chevy has helped shape American car culture – from the post-war boom and rise of pickup trucks as workhorses of industry, to legendary performance icons like the Corvette, which debuted in 1953 and remains a global symbol of American engineering. Chevy’s trucks have long played a vital role in building and sustaining communities, while its manufacturing footprint has supported generations of American workers. That legacy continues today as the brand expands into electrification with vehicles like the Silverado EV, proving that innovation and tradition can move forward together. With the Stars & Steel collection, Chevrolet is not only commemorating a historic national anniversary, but also reaffirming what it has stood for since the beginning: American ingenuity, hard work, and a deep respect for those who serve.

Back to school means back to busy mornings. Between school drop-offs, packed parking lots, after-school activities, and the daily commute, you can spend a lot of time behind the wheel this time of year. Fortunately, today's SUVs come equipped with features designed to make those everyday drives a little more comfortable, convenient, and connected. Warm Up on Chilly Fall Mornings As temperatures start to drop, heated seats and a heated steering wheel can make a cold morning commute much more comfortable. Instead of waiting for the cabin to warm up, you can get comfortable from the moment you leave the driveway. The Chevrolet Blazer EV offers available heated front seats, while the Chevrolet Trailblazer offers available heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Stay Connected Without the Cords Between school schedules, music, podcasts and navigation, your smartphone is an important part of your daily drive. The Blazer EV comes standard with Google Built-In which makes it easy to access compatible apps and information without constantly plugging in your phone. The Trailblazer comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with an 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen. Wireless phone charging is also available. Let Your SUV Help With the Commute Stop-and-go traffic can make a routine commute feel much longer. Available driver-assistance features such as Adaptive Cruise Control can help make highway driving more convenient by automatically adjusting your speed to help maintain a set following distance. Adaptive Cruise Control is available on both the Trailblazer and Blazer, depending on configuration. Be Ready for Northwest Weather Fall in the Pacific Northwest can mean rain, wet roads and changing conditions. Having the right drivetrain can provide added confidence when the weather turns. The Trailblazer offers available AWD, while the Blazer lineup offers available AWD configurations. Whether you're navigating a rainy commute or heading out of town for a fall weekend, having available all-wheel drive can be a useful feature to have when conditions change. Make Room for Everything Backpacks. Sports equipment. Groceries. Strollers. After-school project supplies. Somehow, it all ends up in the vehicle. The Trailblazer is designed to make the most of its compact footprint, with seating for up to five, a standard fold-flat front passenger seat and up to 8.5 feet of maximum cargo length. An available hands-free power liftgate can also make loading up easier when your hands are full. If you need more room, the Blazer EV offers seating for five and up to 59.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, making it a versatile choice for busy families and active lifestyles. Meet Your New Commuting Companion If your fall routine calls for a compact SUV that's easy to maneuver, efficient and packed with practical features, the Chevrolet Trailblazer is worth a look. If you're looking for something larger with an all-electric powertrain, modern technology and plenty of cargo room, the Chevrolet Blazer EV brings a different kind of versatility to your daily drive. With up to 312 miles of EPA-estimated range with FWD on the 2027 model, it's designed to make every day driving electric. Make Your Commute Something to Look Forward To You may not be able to control the school-zone traffic, the morning rush or the rainy fall weather - but you can choose a vehicle that makes getting through it all a little easier.
