Camaro to pace 2009 Daytona 500

Featured Replies

I read on jayski.com that the Camaro will be the "Official Pace Car of the 2009 Daytona 500" which should be sweet.

I have not seen anything offical but I am betting you can also expect a Camaro for the Indy 500, Brickyard 400 and the Daytona 400 too. GM has retained the rights to these race tracks after dropping hte others the last I heard.

Nice change from the predictable...the Corvette's been the IPC for what, 15 years straight?

HARD LEFT -> INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR

Most of the Pacecars of the past few decades have gotten so damn

tacky they make a typical $3.00 dayglo-green injection-molded

plastic toy car at Wal*Mart look well executed by comparison.

Used to be Pace Cars were classy, impressive... you'd be proud to

be seen in one, it was an HONOR, not a marketing punchline. :rolleyes:

I wonder what color it will be?

Knowing how nascar likes to paint the daytona pace cars, it will be wild.

EDIT: Now that I read the whole thread before replying and see 68's visual demonstration of my textual post:

LEFT!!!! :sign0200: :camarosmile:
