It's certainly a step up from Patrick Dempsey. What's also an upgrade is Emerson'll be driving an E85-powered Z06 concept Corvette.

How fast do pace cars actually go around the track?

^^^Not very, they only "pace" the track. The only come out under caution, and the speed limit is 55mph.

I love the black vert. Its the best pace car in a long time.

I pretty sure they pace quicker than that at indy, like 85 or so... I'll look it up.

I was thinking about NASCAR, the Indy 500 caution speed limit is 80
