Looks like Al Unser Jr was the Champion of the 1986 IROC Race.

Maybe chevrolet put out some special edition cars for it. I'm searching the internet. Its interesting so far.

There is a sticky on this board about players choice stuff but I've never heard anything about signature editions cars. it looks as though that 1986 was the 10th aniversary of the IROC races so possible Chevrolet released a few Special Edition cars with that badging for it. A few would be it though as I can't find anything at all on the internet other than that Al Unser Jr was the champion of the 1986 Race.

If some history is found you should document the car, clean it up and either fix it or sell it. I bet some race buffs would love to have the car.

Well being the Unser's are from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Maybe some local dealership had some special edition Camaro's made up in commoration of Little Al's IROC championship. Just a guess.
