Hello Matt! You and I might be the only ones with '95 Brickyard 400 Pace Car editions currently active here at MCF. There were a few posts from some other owners, but long before I joined.

What's even stranger is that both our cars were "de-decaled" by a previous owner, so neither one is currently in its beautiful full Pace Car regalia. Why someone would order a Pace Car Edition Monte Carlo and then intentionally have most (or all!) of those same Pace Car Edition decals removed makes no sense at all to me! (Why not just order a regular white MC instead? The white-wheel option was available in both LS and Z34 versions, even.)

I'm not as sure, but I think there were a few Brickyard 400 Pace Car Editions for later years of the MC as well (sixth generation).

These Brickyards were not normally ordered, the dealers got them to kickoff the Brickyard 400 in 1994, this was also the re-introduced car for the 5th Gen. Monte Carlo that year.
Supposedly this new body style was to be approved by Nascar for the 1994 Brickyard 400, but they stalled out on it and waited til 1995 Daytona 500.
Back as late as 2004 I know of 2 dealers that still had them and weren't able to sell them. So it could be that the dealer removed the stickers, with the hope they would sell. All the ones I saw came to the dealer fully decaled up.
