Happy July, Mauston! Summer is in full swing, the boats are out on Castle Rock Lake, and the grill is always hot. July is a month for celebrating freedom, family, and the open road.If you’ve turned on a TV or opened your favorite music streaming app lately, you might have felt a familiar rhythm. Just in time for the summer road trip season, Chevrolet has officially reintroduced its most iconic, legendary anthem: The Heartbeat of America.
First introduced in 1986, this classic campaign has been reimagined for a new generation. This time, it features a modern, soulful track by the country-rock band The Red Clay Strays and incorporates the literal, recorded heartbeats of everyday, hard-working Americans—from small-town business owners to legendary blue-collar doers.
At Kudick Chevrolet, we believe that the true heartbeat of America isn’t just a slogan; it’s the people right here in Juneau County who show up, do the hard work, and keep our community moving. And there is a Chevy in our lineup built to match that exact pulse.

If you’ve spent any time on the backroads of Juneau County, you know there’s nothing quite like a crisp Wisconsin morning and a wide-open stretch of pavement. This month, we’re spotlighting a vehicle that turns every local drive into a world-class experience: the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
At Kudick Chevrolet, we’ve seen some incredible performance machines over the years, but the 2026 Z06 is truly in a league of its own. It isn’t just a sports car; it’s a track-ready weapon designed to put the world’s most expensive exotics on notice.
The Heart of the Beast: The LT6 V8
The headline of the 2026 Z06 remains its legendary 5.5L LT6 V8 engine. What makes it special? It features a flat-plane crankshaft, allowing it to scream all the way to an 8,600 RPM redline.
Horsepower: 670 hp (The most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in production)
Torque: 460 lb-ft
0–60 MPH: A blistering 2.6 seconds
Quarter-Mile: 10.6 seconds at 131 mph
This engine isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about the sound. The Z06 produces a high-pitched, race-inspired howl that you’ll hear long before you see it.
What’s New for 2026?
While the performance remains top-tier, the 2026 model brings some exciting updates to the cockpit and technology:
Redesigned Interior: The 2026 Corvette features a major interior makeover. It now boasts a massive 12.7-inch center touchscreen and a 14-inch digital gauge cluster, keeping all your performance data in sharp, clear view.

The Benefits of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Buick
If you’ve ever thought about purchasing a luxurious Buick SUV, but are hesitant about the cost, consider purchasing a certified pre-owned Buick. Affordability is just one of the many benefits of buying a pre-owned Buick. Let’s discuss why a certified pre-owned Buick is an excellent investment.
172-Point Inspection
When you buy a certified pre-owned Buick, you can expect it to function as well as a brand-new model. That’s because every vehicle has to undergo a rigorous 172-point inspection to earn certification. Every component under the hood has to be in excellent condition, and the exterior and interior can’t have any wear and tear. If there are any issues, an expert team of Buick technicians will make any necessary repairs and then road test the vehicle to ensure it handles the way a luxury SUV should.
Buick also reviews the vehicle history to ensure that the title is clean and that the previous owner kept up on maintenance. Upon purchase, you’ll get a free copy of your vehicle’s history report. To ensure that only quality vehicles receive certification, only vehicles less than six years old and with a maximum of 75,000 miles on the odometer can undergo inspection.
Warranties
After you purchase your certified pre-owned Buick, you can rest easy knowing that not one but two warranties protect your vehicle. The Limited Powertrain Warranty is good for six years or 100,000 miles, while the Bumper-To-Bumper Warranty is good for 12 months or 12,000 miles. Both warranties cover parts, repair, and labor costs without you having to pay a single cent for a deductible.

We all love to go camping and enjoy the outdoors. However, our sedan may not always be able to make the trip safely. The truck, while it has clearance, is not the most fuel-efficient vehicle. The compromise? The 2021 Chevy Blazer is the perfect combination of fuel economy and clearance for the adventurer at heart.
Meet the Sporty 2021 Chevy Blazer
The Chevrolet lineup is always full of incredible vehicles; however, none are greater than the sleek and sporty 2021 Blazer.

The Blazer also has three editions, the Midnight, the Sport, and the Redline Edition. On top of these editions, the Blazer also has six trim levels available, the L trim, the 1LT trim, the 2LT trim, the 3LT trim, the RS trim, and the Premier trim with two engine options. With so many color options, editions, and trim levels available, it’s easy to select the Blazer that fits your style preference the most.
