The Chevrolet Corvette scores the trifecta at this year's Indianapolis 500 race, the 2022 race being the third time in a row that America's sports car will be the official pace car. After the Stingray coupe got the callup in 2020 and the convertible in 2021, the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 in 70th Anniversary Edition spec makes its debut at the oval. Overall, this is Chevrolet's 33rd time leading the field to the green flag, ever since Wilbur Shaw drove a Fleetmaster Six in 1948. This is also the 19th time for Corvette, which began with Jim Rathmann in a 25th Anniversary Stingray in 1978. And let's not forget that Gaston Chevrolet, brother of company founder Louis Chevrolet, won the race in 1920. IndyCar veteran driver and team owner Sarah Fisher gets pace car wheel duty for the event she raced nine times.
