Roger Penske is Indy 500 Pace Car Driver...Z/28 Maybe

So the reason I posted this here is due to the fact that Roger Penske was instrumental in the original Z/28's rich and famed racing heritage that made the Z/28 what it is today.

LENGENDARY!!.

I truly believe that the '17 Z/28 will make its debut at the Indy 500 with none other than Roger Penske at the wheel. The 50th anniversary of the Camaro Z/28 and the 100th running of the Indy 500 race to coincide in the same year.
What do you think?

Well technically the 50th anniversary of the Camaro is 2017 and the 100th running of the Indy 500 is in 2016.

Technically, the Camaro was released in '66 as a '67 model year.

Yep, and RPO code Z28 was officially available in December of 66 for a late 1967 debut. The first Z/28's didn't have Z28 logos, their only external markings was a 302 callout on the front of the fender and racing stripes.

I think the same was true for 68?

halfway through 68' model year they changed the badge from '302' to Z/28

Okay, I knew I had seen at least 2 68 Z/28's with just the "302" callouts, wasn't sure if the 68's ever got the Z/28 badges.

It would be nice but I doubt it. We just saw the first spy pic of it. It's too early, also taking into consideration that the ZL1 isn't available yet and was just revealed.

I would have liked to see a 50th ZL1 as the pace car.
