Actually, under the track prep section on page 189 it explicitly states to use a Dexos 2 0w-40 or 5w-40 for track use.

^^ Here's the part in the manual being referred to:

"6.2L (LT1) Engine
Change the engine oil to 0W-40 or 5W-40 that meets the dexos2™specification. If this oil is not
available, the following oils can be used as an alternative:
Valvoline® SYNPOWER MST 5W-40,
Mobil® 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40.
See Capacities and Specifications -> 331."
