Default Corvettes used to introduce drivers at Auto Club Speedway

Close to 40 Corvettes representing all generations were used to carry drivers around Auto Club Speedway in Fontana before todays COPART 300 Nationwide race.

They did that at a few tracks last year. Seemed to only be out west though. I saw the same thing (on TV) at Las Vegas and Pheonix last year. Here at Indy, they had a couple local vette clubs (about 50 cars) do a lap around the track before the race to show off, but they took the drivers around in the chevy trucks. I am going to talk to a lady in one of the clubs there that also works at the speedway how to get involved.
