Gotcha. I still wonder why they wouldn't just use the Acura RLX.

I believe the Indianapolis speedway has a contract with Chevrolet to provide all support vehicles for the 500.

Support vehicles are all Chevrolet (silverados 1500 and 2500, colorados, Tahoes and suburbans) that I can confirm

Nice, Z06 w/Z07 package is a good choice.

The first car is street legal ( As the Z06 will not be driven on public roads) and will stay with IMS all year to promote the Track at local events. That is why it is a little different.

The Z06 is the official pace car, the Stingray will probably fill in at public appearances.

Kind of anti-climactic now.

Makes it sound like old news at this point.

Doesn't matter, another bowtie in front of the pack!!
