Last Friday, Chevrolet unveiled a refreshed Camaro ZL1. It will make its competition debut in 2026 in the NASCAR Cup Series. Some of the changes would include a larger hood dome, revisions to the front grille, and redefined rocker panels. The ZL1 debuted in NASCAR in 2018 and changed in 2020, when it was updated to the ZL1 1LE version, and also in 2022 with the Next-Gen car introduction.

However, the Next-Gen car has not experienced the same growth as the Chevy body. Fans and drivers alike have mounted protests and diatribes against the countless faults of the car, with NASCAR mostly turning a deaf ear. But now, the time is ripe for the sanctioning body to change its approach.
