Winning isn’t the goal – it’s the expectation
We’ve wrapped another incredible season the same way we started, as the winningest brand in the NASCAR Cup Series. The sweep of all three 2023 NASCAR Manufacturer Championships – Cup, Xfinity and Craftsman Truck – wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of Team Chevy teams and drivers. This is what we mean when we say performance is in our DNA. Thank you for the hard work, all season long to not only keep us moving – but moving fast.
The next generation of winning starts here
Chevrolet and NASCAR Cup Series™ share a rich tradition of winning. From modified stock cars to today’s high-tech precision racing machines, the Chevy team has always operated with one goal in mind: winning. Throughout the years, names like Earnhardt, Gordon, Johnson and Petty have all been integral parts of the program’s success, while today’s driver-athletes plan to continue the legacy by capturing even more checkered flags.
This Cup Series season, they’ll have a new weapon in their arsenal. The NASCAR Next Gen Camaro ZL1 race car is poised to take Chevy innovation and winning to a whole new level.

Winning’s in the DNA of every gen of Chevrolet
Chevrolet and NASCAR have a storied history that’s been built on pushing the limits of what a car can do and what a driver can do in it. We’re proud of the vehicles and legendary drivers that have been a part of the team’s success. As the next generation approaches, we enter knowing the story has just begun.
A digital approach to design
To perfect the cup car, engineers utilized driver-in-the-loop simulators and input from our teams during development to help refine and balance the overall vehicle. We also incorporated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis into development – more CFD than all previous cup programs combined. This allowed for an efficient, iterative design process. The result? We were able to hit our rigid aerodynamic standards for this car.
