(April 10, 2011) INDIANAPOLIS (PRNewswire) — Global business icon Donald J. Trump will drive the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Pace Car to lead the field of 33 drivers to the start of the 100th Anniversary Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 29, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The 100th Anniversary Indianapolis 500, "The Most Important Race in History," starts at noon and will be televised on ABC for the 47th consecutive year.

"It's a great honor to be selected as the Pace Car driver for such an American institution as the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500," Trump said. "The Indianapolis 500 has been the gold standard of motorsports for a century, and I can't wait to get behind the wheel of the Camaro and bring the famous field of 33 drivers to the green flag."

"It's a special honor for the new Camaro Convertible to pace the Indianapolis 500, especially this year, which is the 100th anniversary of the founding of both Chevrolet and 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,'" said Rick Scheidt, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet marketing.

Joining Trump ahead of the Indianapolis 500 field on one of the parade laps will be Addison Brown of Scottsdale, Ariz., who will drive a special-edition Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible 2011 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car replica that she won at the Barrett-Jackson auction on Jan. 22.

Chevrolet donated Brown's winning bid of $225,000 to the David Foster Foundation, a charity devoted to supporting families with children in need of life-saving organ transplants. Foster, the 16-time Grammy-winning music producer and songwriter, founded the organization in his native Canada.
