As the Holden Commodore faces curtain call, Chevy’s NASCAR bosses haven’t had to look far to find its replacement for the Chevrolet SS.
With the next season of NASCAR comes the arrival of its NASCAR Camaro ZL1.
Driver of the #48 Lowe’s Chevrolet Jimmie Johnson says that he’s interested to see how the Camaro fares as a NASCAR cup car, as opposed to the very different street version he’s experienced before.
“And as someone who’s enjoyed the ZL1 on the street, I’m really looking forward to getting this new race car on the track.”
GM global products VP Mark Reuss says the brands heritage has helped it become a successful racing team today.
“Chevrolet, Camaro and ZL1 are all synonymous with winning, both on and off the track,” Reuss says.
The ZL1 badge was first used in the ‘60s on a Chevrolet-developed engine which found success in road racing. The badge has made a comeback over four decades later, much to the same effect.
