GM Product Chief Mark Reuss To Pace 2015 IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix In A Corvette Z06

IndyCar heads to Detroit this weekend for the ‘Chevrolet Dual in Detroit’ hosted on the Belle Isle Park road course, and none other than General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] product chief Mark Reuss will be handling pacing duties. Last year he was behind the wheel of a Corvette Stingray but this year he’ll be in a new Corvette Z06.

It’s the same Arctic White car with an Adrenaline Red interior that NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon used to pace last weekend’s Indianapolis 500 won by Team Penske driver Juan Pablo Montoya. It’s identical to the Corvette Z06 you’ll find at your local Chevy dealer apart from the special graphics and safety strobe lights.
