Excerpts from Press Release: 
Herb Fishel to Drive Chevy SSR Indy 500 Pace Vehicle

INDIANAPOLIS, March 26, 2003 – For nearly 40 years, Herbert A. (Herb) Fishel, executive director of GM Racing, has been a powerful behind-the-scenes force in American motorsports. On May 25, 2003, Fishel will be on center stage at the world’s largest single-day sporting event when he drives the Chevy SSR Official Pace Vehicle at the start of the Indianapolis 500.

“Driving the Chevy SSR Indy 500 Pace Vehicle as I enter the 40th year of my career is a tremendous honor,” said Fishel. “I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. If I can take 1,000 people around the track in the month of May, I’ll do it!

As a youth, Fishel dreamed about an Oldsmobile engine winning the Indianapolis 500, a dream he helped bring to reality in 1997 when a GM-designed Oldsmobile IRL Aurora V-8 powered Arie Luyendyk to victory.

“I have always believed that there is a mutually beneficial relationship between racing and the automotive manufacturers,” said Fishel. “That has been a guiding principle throughout my career. What’s good for racing should be good for the automotive manufacturers, and what’s good in our business should be good for racing. I have always been committed to GM’s involvement in the Indy 500.”
