Small correction: the 2023 Le Mans 24h was NOT the first time a NASCAR Stock Car was entered. I don't remember what year it was exactly (I think around 1990), but back in the day during an oil crisis the Le Mans organizers decided to add Stock Cars to the grid to try and re-gain popularity after it sunk pretty hard.

Not even the first Camaro circle track car to run at LeMans, as in 1981 and 1982 a pair of dirt track Camaro tube frame chassis were fitted with more factory looking body panels and competed in the 24 Hours, both of them did better than Hendrick's Garage 54 car managed this year.
