General Motors has announced that the 2014 Corvette Stingray that will serve as pace car at the 2013 Indianapolis 500 will be driven Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of NFL team San Francisco 49ers.
The former Indianapolis Colts quarterback is also a racing enthusiasts and team principal at Panther Racing, who will compete in this year’s Indy 500 with two Chevrolet-powered single-seaters driven by J.R. Hildebrand and Townsend Bell.
“As a longtime racing fan and someone who has always followed the Indianapolis 500, the honor to drive the pace car comes as a tremendous thrill,” said Harbaugh. “Doing it in the all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray makes it even better. It’s an iconic car leading an iconic race.”
“It’s great to have a true racing fan like Jim Harbaugh drive the Corvette pace car,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “He personifies the Indianapolis 500’s spirit of competition – and he’s a true athlete, just like the all-new Corvette Stingray.”
As a reminder, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will hit US dealerships later this summer with a price tag starting from $51,995, including the $995 destination fee, but excluding tax, title and license.
