In 1973 the International Race of Champions (IROC) was a race made up of the best drivers in the IRL, NASCAR Winston Cup, NASCAR Busch, World of Outlaws…all kinds of races…to compete in identical cars and test their racing skills in steering to win the season’s IROC Championship.
What did they drive? Interestingly, for the 1974 season (IROC I), the car chosen was the Porsche Carerra RSR. Due to Porsche’s operating costs, IROC switched to the Chevrolet Camaro for the 1975 season (IROC II). IROC remained with the Camaro until 1990 when the Camaro was replaced by the Dodge Daytona.
Okay, so where does the Camaro IROC-Z fit into all of this? 1980 was the IROC’s last season until its “revival” in 1984. For the 1984 season, through the 1989 season, the IROC chose the “newly designed” Camaro Z/28 as their car. Chevrolet, on the other hand, had another idea…to make a commemorative Camaro model after the IROC series and celebrate the “rebirth” of the IROC series.
IROC stands for International Race of Champions. In most Nascar events, they have a day where all the drivers drive identical cars. The result, the winner is really the best Driver.
The cars they choose are typically American and marketed as the Camero IROC Z.

IROC-Z stands for,
International Race of Champions Z-28 Camaro. This was the designation of the car used in the races leading up to the championship. All the cars were identical, only the drivers and mechanics/crews were different.
