INDIANAPOLIS – Among the milestones surrounding the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 this weekend is Chevrolet’s legacy as the official pace car – an honor it has held more than any other manufacturer.

A unique version of the new 2017 Camaro SS 50th Anniversary Edition will lead the field on Sunday, May 29, driven by motorsports legend Roger Penske. It’s the 27th time since 1948 that a Chevrolet has served as the pace car and the ninth time for Camaro.


Chevrolet gathered examples of all nine Camaro pace cars at the Brickyard for a retrospective look at the distinctive design and production significance that made each of them leaders of the pack.
