A white with blue interior 1969 Camaro RS/SS 396 convertible was used as the pace car for the Volunteer 500 NASCAR Grand National event held at the Bristol International Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee on Sunday, July 20, 1969. David Pearson won the race in his 1969 Ford Torino Talladega.
An interesting side note, this is the same day as the Apollo 11 moon landing.
This is the same Camaro that was used at the track for multiple events and the car still exists. See my other threads for details:

You can tell that it is not the Bristol International Speedway because of the lettering on the wall behind the car. See the third picture to match the way the lettering looks. The photo must have been taken during one of the days of the American Hot Rod Association (AHRA) Spring Nationals that took place June 7/8, 1969. It was used to promote the upcoming NASCAR event.
