Chevrolet Unveils Updated Camaro ZL1 Body for 2026 NASCAR Cup Season

The car will make its first on-track appearance at February’s Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray.

Overview

  • The redesign features a larger hood power dome, a revised front grille, and more pronounced rocker panels.
  • Chevrolet says the look aligns with its new Camaro ZL1 Carbon Performance Package accessories for sixth-generation ZL1 owners.
  • The update was developed with NASCAR and teams, and Hendrick, Trackhouse, Richard Childress, Spire, Kaulig, Haas Factory Team, and HYAK are set to run the new body.
  • Despite the production Camaro’s discontinuation, the Camaro ZL1 nameplate will continue in Cup competition for 2026.
  • Low-resolution images leaked before the reveal drew ridicule from fans, and Alex Bowman logged laps in the updated car during a Bristol tire test.
