Last year, the Chevrolet Camaro was at the 2010 Indianapolis 500 serving a very special purpose during one of the world?s most famous racing series. As the official pace car of Indy 500, the Camaro has enjoyed quite its fair share of billing during the event and this year?s edition of the Indy 500 figures to be no different.
Yes folks, the Camaro will once again be the pace car for the 2011 Indy 500, only this time, it?s going to be the newest Camaro to roll out of the block, the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible.
The announcement was made at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is on tap for this weekend. In addition to that announcement, Chevrolet will also be auctioning off the first of 50 Indianapolis 500 Festival Committee cars this weekend, the proceeds of which will be donated to the David Foster Foundation, a charity that lends its support to families that have children that need organ transplants.
