Recently, scenes of the Brickyard were added to Google Maps Street View. The Google camera car followed a Camaro pace car around the property and on the racing surface in September 2011.

I'm hoping someone here can confirm something for me. Street View automatically blurs the faces of people to protect privacy, but we get a close look at the pace car driver. I think it looks like Johnny Rutherford, but I don't know him as well as I suspect some of you know him.

Take a look:

For those who are not familiar with Street View, go to the following URL and drag the orange icon to the map. The blue lines indicate where the Google Maps car drove through the property.

Enjoy.
