According to Road and Track, it was dry....:

At the conclusion of the race, Chevrolet issued the following statement about the pace car crash:
"We are thankful that there were no serious injuries. Both the pace car driver and the series official were taken to the infield care center, where they were checked, cleared and released.
It is unfortunate that this incident happened. Many factors contributed, including weather and track conditions. The car’s safety systems performed as expected"
It rained earlier in the day, but weather at race start was 70 and sunny. The track was dry.

"No one wanted to run over the debris," Team Penkse IndyCar driver Will Power said. "I felt really bad for whoever was in the pace car. Where it happened is such a bad corner. It's real easy to do."

"I felt really bad for whoever was in the pace car," Power said. "It's very easy to do, and the traction control must have been turned off. Wasn't really his fault."
Added race winner Ryan Hunter-Reay: "That's a testament to the Corvette and 750 horsepower. I've driven one before and you don't want to jump on the gas. That's a fast car. It's something that can happen and the race hadn't started, so no big deal."
