INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Chevrolet carried out a longtime tradition leading into the Month of May when the 33 directors of the 500 Festival received 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS convertibles on the main straightaway of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The presentation was made as part of a 100 Camaro drive-away where the 500 Festival directors, officials from Indianapolis Motor Speedway and 50 Indiana Chevrolet dealer representatives took possession of the cars and experienced a lap on the famed oval.
The “Festival cars” have reminded Indianapolis-area residents of the upcoming Indianapolis 500 since the 1960s, and this year's fleet of unique Camaros will certainly turn heads as they are driven around Central Indiana.
“One sure thing that indicates the month of May is almost here is seeing the Indianapolis 500 Festival cars around the city and state for the first time,” said J. Douglas Boles, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president. “This year's Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible is gorgeous and will definitely get fans geared up for the 99th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race on May 24. The distribution of Festival cars is a long-standing tradition and it's one that definitely reinforces the strong relationship between the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the 500 Festival and Chevrolet.”
