Wow, never knew that existed. But that's one clean car! I actually like the way the decals look too (which I can't say for most pace cars...)

I was at that race and really don't remember seeing a couple of dozen black Corvettes parading around the Brickyard.

Not saying they weren't there, but I don't remember seeing them....

They were parade cars, not Pace Cars. A friend of mine has one in Torch Red. There were around 24 of them and only three still have the decals on them. His Torch Red, Mike Yaegers Torch Red and a Black one I saw in a pic at the NCM.

There isn't too much documentation on them.

The Pace Car was a Monte Carlo if I remember right.

I remember the Vettes at the 94 race... and almost every one since. They were used in the pre-race to bring VIPs and eventually Miss Winston, Miss Indiana, and a bunch of other people around the track. I can't argue the documentation that the guy shows, but I would have sworn they were white. To call it a pace car is total

That's a beautiful car. Do you get it towed home when you hit exactly 10k miles. LOL. Guy
