WooHoo! Glad to see GM marketing the Camaro a little. I will be watching all weekend so I can drool over the new Camaro everytime they show it on TV. Maybe GM will use the Camaro to pace a few other races so I can see it up close and personal. Thanks for sharing that bit of awesome info!

Awesome! I'm trying to get more info on the pace car. If they use the Camaro it may not get a special paint scheme or they are keeping it hidden from everyone. Daytona is definately an event, have fun and take lots of pictures.

Why does it say "Camaro Pace Car?" Why not just Pace Car?

Sort of a "The El Diablo" to me.

Who cares? It's a 5th Gen Camaro and it's pacing the Great American Race! Millions of people are going to see the new Camaro as it paces the Daytona 500. I think GM made a smart decision using the Camaro as the Pace Car.

Yes, I'd heard that they are bringing the Camaro back for regular production in model year 2010.
Just kidding, I knew that you'd meant the Pace Car replicas.
