Default pace car

Has anyone else noticed beside my wife that the 2006 Daytona 500 pace car has most of the current Corvette colors incorporated into the color scheme?

I noticed...and this should provide the definitive answer to the perpetual question (at least here) about the relative speeds of various Corvette colors.

We can now readily see which are in front and which are on the behind.

I only watched when I'd flip from whatever I was watching, and if the pace car was out I watched until it pulled off. I don't watch racing for the crashes, but that's abotu the only way you'll see NASCAR on in my house... when Vette is pacing the race!

Besides... Curling was on! That's way more entertaining than the race!
Especially women's curling.. those teams have some cuties.
