All-new Look Hits the Track in 2026
Chevrolet is set to turn heads on the track as it introduces an updated version of its Camaro ZL1 racecar for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. The new car will make its competition debut at the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray in February, promising to bring fresh styling and performance enhancements to fans and racers alike.
Revised Design Reflects Street Performance DNA
The 2026 Camaro ZL1 racecar features notable upgrades that mirror the look and performance of Chevrolet’s recently released Camaro ZL1 Carbon Performance Package for production vehicles. The most striking changes include a larger hood power dome, an updated front grille, and more prominent rocker panels, all inspired by the ZL1 Carbon Performance Package’s carbon-fiber elements and aerodynamic updates.
Collaboration Elevates NASCAR Legacy
Chevrolet’s NASCAR update was developed in close partnership with NASCAR and its racing teams to ensure both style and track capability. Having competed with 14 different nameplates since 1955, Chevrolet continues its storied legacy with a record 881 all-time Cup Series victories, 34 Driver Championships, and 44 Manufacturer Championships—including the past five in a row—making it the winningest manufacturer in NASCAR Cup Series history.
Innovation at the Heart of GM
General Motors, Chevrolet’s parent company, underscores its commitment to performance and innovation as it transitions toward a future of safer, smarter, and more sustainable mobility across its lineup, from gasoline-powered vehicles to a broad range of electric models. The 2026 Camaro ZL1 racecar stands as the latest symbol of this ongoing evolution and racing excellence.
