ACDelco was quite popular in NASCAR from the 1990s as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Steve Park drove cars sponsored by them to great success.

ACDelco did come to Australia, in fact, the category was sponsored by ACDelco as the category was called the ACDelco Cup, some races were also sponsored by the company, and Ian Thomas had an ACDelco ride car, it was #2.

Eagers Holden gave out a limited-edition series of awards with an ACDelco Chevrolet Monte Carlo model attached though it was the #3 of Dale Earnhardt Jr.

In the 2000’s, Ken James had a #4 ACDelco Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and it was seen for several years.
The car was previously the #01 Monte Carlo that Ken James had, it went to Drew Kruck before Ken brought the car back.

There is a ACDelco liveried Pontiac Monaro, the car was parked for many years before it made a triumphant return to the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and other events such as being at Calder Park in 2024.
ACDelco reappeared in the Australian Stock Car Championship in 2026 when Zentrix Racing started having them on the #19 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the #45 Dodge Challenger.
It would be interesting if the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Pontiac Monaro liveries end up on a car in Stock Cars Australia either by the #19 or #45 or perhaps the #2 would be raced someday.
