What does IROC stand for?

The question may sound stupid but I really don't know and didn't see an answer in the faq. Also did any other car manufacturers come out with cars that were labeled IROC?

Dodge grabbed the IROC contract after GM decided to drop it. Dodge started making IROC Daytonas in '91 hoping to follow the success of the IROC Camaro. Unfortunately, it just didn't sell as well as the 'maro and Dodge dropped it too (can't remember which year).
