Just like years past, class winners at the LSX Shootout will not only get the cash, but also a Chevy Performance LSX Block.

The 2012 Chevrolet Performance LSX Shootout is quickly approaching, and we’ve got LSX drag racing on the brain. As we get ready for the biggest LSX racing event of the year, we’ve been thinking about just how cool it must be to win a class at the LSX Shootout. Winners get almost a full year’s worth of bragging rights knowing they have the quickest ride that’s powered by America’s hottest powerplant. What could be better?

Well, getting a big chunk of change and maybe a Chevy Performance LSX Bowtie Block to go with those bragging rights could make a win all the more awesome. In fact, at this year’s LSX Shootout a sum of purses and prizes totaling just over $50,000 will reportedly be up for grabs across all the classes. Check out the press release below for all the details, and we’ll see you at Lucas Oil Raceway in just a few short weeks.
