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.

To honor Lance’s achievements, the Vette will operate on 4 cylinder’s only.
I couldn’t care less about Lance and cycling, but I haven’t seen any proof he was on roids.

THAT is how police cars should be painted, and what highway patrol cars should be, z06’s. Then they get serious respect.

It’s a great car, I’ll admit to that -eventhough the paintjob sort of reminds me of…Dolly Parton. But hey: She too is great!

IRL under Tony George races for the bottom. All they’ve had in the past decade is a bunch of cocane barron’s kids buying their rides and a chippie that can pose and drive on the same day. ….to keep in form, they need Cheryl Crow to sing the anthem while Lance drives.

As fast as the Corvette is, ain’t it time something else paced the Indy 500? I mean, the Vette was the pace car last year too.
