On August 6, 1994, the inaugural Brickyard 300 race was held at the world-famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Twenty-five 1994 Corvette convertibles (13 red, 12 black) were used as parade or festival cars. The Corvettes were mainly used to parade VIPs and introduce the 43 Nascar drivers in a parade lap around the track. Below is a list of facts about the cars:
