The contract was up until 2007 and they've since levelled that plant. I'm not sure if they would have to wait until the model year 2007 or the actual year 2007.

As for the IROC name, the series started in 1974 with them racing Porsche cars so I'm not sure how Chevrolet would own any rights to the IROC name unless they paid for it. And when they stopped using the Camaro for the IROC series there was obviously no reason to keep the name with the Camaro.
