I never had a bit of trouble from my local Chevy store.  Not only did 
the service department know that I used it for autocross, they knew I 
used the car for open road events at up to 140 mph...  It all depends 
upon the dealer, but if the salesman is willing to say it out loud, 
the General Manager should be willing to put it in writing and state 
something to the effect of, "If the corporation denies warranty 
coverage, the dealership will foot the bill."
