INDIANAPOLIS – Danica Patrick will be on the track at the Indianapolis 500, at the front of the field once again.
Patrick was announced Wednesday as the pace car driver for IndyCar's marquee event. She will drive a 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray hardtop convertible to lead the field to green on May 30.
It will be the first Corvette convertible since 2008 to pace “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” “I have always loved Chevy vehicles, and the Corvette convertible is such a beautiful car," Patrick said. "Maybe they will let me drive it home.” Patrick as a rookie in 2005 became the first woman to lead laps in the Indianapolis 500.
