What happened to the new Nationwide cars?

Question

I did notice that the Nationwide cars have a revised body, but what happened to the new Mustang and Challenger bodies? They were nowhere to be seen at Daytona. I was looking forward to seeing them run too. Are they not being used until later in the season?

They are going to race their new COT car starting in July at Daytona. They will race it four times in 2010 and here is the info:

As stated before, the Nationwide COT will debut at Daytona in July and only run 4 races this year before being implemented full time in 2011.  As for comments about Chevrolet not using the Camaro, the reason for that is GM felt that to conform to NASCAR templates the Camara would lose too many of its styling cues that make it unique and stand out.  While it would have made sense for the Camaro to be included with the other pony cars, I can see GM's point.

They're only gonna run them 4 times this year starting with Daytona in July. Stupid Chevy really should've picked the Camaro with the Mustang and Challenger cars. Oh well.

i've got have been given been affirming a similar concern! i think of of those Challengers could seem quite awe-inspiring indoors the previous Petty purple and blue paint interest. And a Dale Earnhardt black Camaro may well be a sight to behold. i'm specific that Matt "Pray For Rain" Kenseth and the something of the Roushketeers could have some relaxing with the Mustangs. save the Priuses for factors-chasing accountability indoors the pits. How plenty lead time would desire to be necessary to make this modification?

Why oh why did they pick the Impala?  The Camaro would have fit right in with the Mustang and Challenger.  Bad move, Chevy.
