"The selection of the Datsun 510 as official pace car for Ontario Motor Speedway for the 500 and other races during the next twelve months is truly a milestone. Naturally we're proud that the car will be seen by millions of television race fans as well as the thousands of spectators that are going to attend the California 500 and the other Ontario races. To us, this participation in a great sporting event means that auto enthusiasts (as well as the general public)will see Datsun in a completely new light. They are going to recognize that the Datsun 510 is much more than just another small car. They're going to see the Datsun 510 in a position of authority and leadership. This is what a pace car should be on the track, but it is also a position Datsun has honestly earned after eleven years and countless miles on American highways. I have said it before, and it certainly is worth repeating, that we are participating in Trans Am racing, SCCA amateur sports car racing, and promotions like the California 500 mile race because we're proud of the products we sell. We sincerely hope that all Datsun dealers and all Datsun owners share our pride. Datsun has truly found a home in the U.S. marketplace and now has found another home as part of a truly unique American sporting event." - Mr. K, Datsun News, August 1971, pp5, 12.
