Your welcome.  I had never seen 95% of this stuff either.  The idea to research this material came about because I found a reference in an old souvenir program to a giveaway 1969 Camaro RS/SS Z11 convertible pace car at a USAC Champ Car event in Colorado in 1969.  That notion led me to find more about that particular contest and I kept coming across all of these others, so I decided to do this research project.  Funny thing is, I never found anything else on the giveaway car that sparked the research project in the first place!

1967
Indianapolis 500

Probably the most famous and infamous person to win a brand new Camaro in 1967 was A.J. Foyt when he won the 51st International 500 Mile Sweepstakes held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, over two days, Tuesday May 30 and Wednesday May 31, 1967.  Historically, the winner of the event has been given one of the pace cars as part of their winnings at the Victory Dinner held the day after the race.  Since the race was postponed by weather and finished the day after, the Victory Dinner for 1967 was held the night the race was finished.  Unfortunately for Chevrolet, Foyt was a contracted Ford race driver and he basically refused to accept the Camaro as it was given to him.  Read the articles to see what happened next.
