Chevy Camaro Leads “Most Important Race in History”
Two American traditions will be celebrating their 100th anniversaries in style at the Indianapolis 500. The all American Chevy brand and the Indy 500 share their 100th birthday this May. The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will lead “The Most Important Race in History” to the green flag with real estate tycoon Donald Trump behind the wheel. Trump said “It’s a great honor to be selected as the Pace Car Driver for such an American institution as the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500. The Indianapolis 500 has been the gold standard of motorsports for a century, and I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the Camaro and bring the famous field of 33 drivers to the green flag”.
Auction winner Addison Brown will follow him on one of the parade laps in the Camaro replica she won with her bid of $225,000. Chevrolet donated Brown’s bid to the David Foster Foundation, an organization committed to supporting the families of children in need of life-saving organ transplants.
The chosen Camaro pace car will resemble the classic 1969 Camaro pace cars which have become popular collectible muscle cars for car enthusiasts around the world. Along with its sleek style, the Chevy Camaro Convertible boasts 400 horsepower with a V-8 engine and six speed automatic transmission, it needs no performance modifications for its duty on race day.
Be part of the celebration and tune in to the Indianapolis 500 May 29th at 12 p.m. on ABC.
