The Chevrolet brand of General Motors Co. in Detroit will hit the track for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season sporting an updated design of its Camaro ZL1 race car.
Set to debut on Feb. 2 at the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C., the latest edition Camaro ZL1 racer will feature upgraded styling that is aligned with Chevrolet’s recently released Camaro ZL1 Carbon Performance Package accessories kit.
The package can be used by production car owners to optimize the performance capabilities of the sixth-generation Camaro ZL1.
The most prominent race car changes are a larger hood power dome, a revised front grille, and more pronounced rocker panels along the sides of the car. These mirror the new Carbon Performance Package’s carbon-fiber hood insert and rockers, plus ZL1 1LE-spec front grille and splitter.
Dating back to 1955, Chevrolet has competed with 14 different nameplates in the NASCAR Cup Series – recording 881 all-time victories, 34 driver championships, and 44 manufacturer championships, including the past five manufacturer titles, to earn the title as the winningest manufacturer in the series’ history.
Chevrolet notes it collaborated with NASCAR and its teams on the latest update.
