The Camaro Lives On in NASCAR
The Camaro is dead, but it lives on in the Nascar Cup Series with a minor facelift.
Updates to the 2026 Camaro Nascar Cup Series
- Chevrolet revealed a refreshed Camaro for the 2026 Nascar Cup Series.
- The racer gains a new hood, reshaped grille, and updated side skirts.
- The Camaro ended production in 2023, but rumors suggest a potential successor.
The last Chevrolet Camaro rolled off the assembly line in December 2023, marking the end of an era. However, the Camaro continues to live on in the NASCAR Cup Series. For the 2026 season, the race car has received a facelift, drawing inspiration from the ZL1 and incorporating cues from the Camaro ZL1 Carbon Performance Package.
The updates include a revised grille, an updated hood, and more pronounced rocker panels. While the changes are not revolutionary, the model remains instantly recognizable as a Camaro.
Camaro ZL1 Carbon Performance Package
The Camaro ZL1 Carbon Performance Package was announced at the SEMA Show and is designed for 2017-2024 ZL1 coupes. The package includes a ZL1 1LE grille, a new front splitter with carbon fiber end caps, and other carbon fiber components such as rocker extensions, a hood insert, and a rear spoiler. The look can be further enhanced with optional Tech Bronze wheels.
The Future of the Camaro
Rumors have been circulating about the future of the Camaro. While most of these rumors are unfounded, Cadillac recently confirmed plans for a new ICE-powered CT5. It’s rumored that this could be joined by another rear-wheel drive model based on an updated version of the Alpha platform, potentially a new CT4 or even a Camaro sedan.
