Lance Armstrong to drive 'Vette pace car at Indy 500

Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France winner, will drive the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 pace car to lead the field to the start of the 90 th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 28. The pace car is a stock Z06 with flashing lights and racing safety gear added. With the Indianapolis 500 being such a classic American race during Memorial Day Weekend and with Chevy's "An American Revolution"? campaign, the Corvette Z06 pace car features an Americana red, white and blue theme. It displays an abstract U.S. flag pattern with "Victory Red"? and "Cobalt Blue"? ribbons flowing across the car on a base of "Arctic White"? with white stars flanking each side. The 2006 Indy 500 logo is on each door, and the Chevy red racing Bowtie appears at the top of the hood. The race will be broadcast live on May 28 by ABC Sports and the IMS Radio Network. The green flag drops at 1 p.m. ET.
