The Indianapolis 500 auto race has used a pace car every year since 1911.The pace car is utilized for two primary purposes. At the start of the race,the pace car leads the assembled starting grid around the track for apredetermined number of unscored warm-up laps. Then if the officials deemappropriate, it releases the field at a purposeful speed to start the race. Inaddition, during yellow flag caution periods, the pace car enters the track andpicks up the leader, bunching the field up at a reduced speed. In almost every year since1936, it has been a tradition that the winner of the Indianapolis 500 bepresented with one of that year"s pace cars (or a replica). In most years since1911, the driver of the pace car at the start of the race has been an invitedcelebrity, a former racing driver, or notable figure in the automotiveindustry. Historically, the honor of supplying the pace car was, and continuesto be, a coveted honor by the respective automobile manufactures and amarketing showcase.
Corvette was honored for the first time in1978 to be the official pace car for that year’s world renown Indy 500 race. Tocommemorate the event, Chevrolet built a number of limited-edition Corvetteswith their very own dedicated vehicle identification number sequence with theeight digits being a nine versus a 4 making it easy to spot and near impossibleto build a clone. In recent years, the Corvette has been honored to supply thepace car on several occasions for the race, but it was only the 3rd time in1995 that the Corvette had been bestowed this honor and only 527 replica carswere then built by Chevrolet to commemorate the occasion.
