[VIDEO] Indy 500 Corvette Pace Car History

On Tuesday it was announced that the 2023 Corvette Z06 would be the official Pace Car for the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500. This is a record 20th time for Corvette, and the only thing that would make the event even cooler is if Chevrolet would offer an Indy 500 Pace Car replica for sale to the public.

While that’s not happening this year, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway did offer this video up yesterday showcasing all of the Indy 500 Pace Cars through the years, as well as some of the official drivers that were honored to lead the pack of IndyCar drivers to the Green Flag. Some of them shown were Chuck Yeager, Morgan Freeman, General Colin Powell, Patric Dempsey, Dale Jr., and Danica Patrick.

As a former Hoosier, the month of May was always an exciting time for racing fans, and with the Chevrolet Corvette setting the pace once again, we can’t wait for the Green Flag to wave on May 28th!
