Chevrolet Camaro returns as pace car for the 2010 Indianapolis 500

(December 22, 20090 In 2009, the Chevrolet Camaro SS paced both the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500.  Now, the Camaro returns to the 2010 Indianapolis 500 with a brand-new orange edition.

For 2010, the Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car features the stock 426 horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8, but adds an RS appearance package and a leather interior with Inferno Orange interior accents. Indy 500 logos can be found on the doors and on each headrest, while Indy 500 badges garnish the front fenders. New for this year's Indy 500 Pace Car is a unique front grille that Chevrolet will add to the options list in the future, while the obvious light bar also takes its place in the rear window.

"Chevrolet has done it again with the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS Pace Car, it is simply beautiful," said Jeff Belskus, president and CEO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation. "The car's tribute to '500' history and its sports car feel will be a big hit with our fans, and it will look great leading the Indianapolis 500 field on race day."
