A lot of Races with Camaro Pace Cars

Anyone else notice the high number of races with Camaro Pace Cars in varying colors and styles, NASCAR, IndyCar and I swear I saw a Camaro Pace Car at an F1 event. The Indy 500, Daytona, even todays Pocono 500 and many others had Camaro's leading the way.
Hmmmm, I still can't recall a Mustang Pace car yet this year....why is that??? Is it because they may look small in comparison to the other cars or maybe they'll get run over?...oops...I didn't really mean that.

The Coke 400 a few weeks back had new the new 5.0 Mustangs as the pace cars. Broke my heart as I saw pictures of the Coke 400 Camaro on this site, and turned the race on only to see it.

Don't get me wrong, Ford did a lot of right with the new stang. I was just excitededly expecting to see the Camaro =/

I doubt you saw a Camaro pace car at an F1 race, since they don't use pace cars. They use safety cars, and they're SLS AMG's.

The pace driver at Pocono put in alot of laps at the start. That would have been fun. That white car looked awesome leading the pack.
