\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA Chevrolet bowtie as seen through the rear window of the Team 18 Camaro.<\/p>\n
The Camaro is the car of choice for General Motors in NASCAR, though rumours persist that a replacement from Chevrolet isn\u2019t far away.<\/p>\n
This week, NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick teased the possibility of the new-look stock car being revealed on Friday in the United States.<\/p>\n
Hendrick told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that NASCAR would \u201cmake the official announcement Friday\u201d and \u201cI better not lean into that\u2026 I\u2019m excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
There have also been low resolution images circulating online, purportedly of the new Chevrolet stock car.<\/p>\n
Little can be made from the images, other than the large Chevrolet bowtie logo and the #48 of Alex Bowman.<\/p>\n
The shift away from the Camaro platform isn\u2019t unexpected as the car is no longer in production.<\/p>\n
NASCAR\u2019s rules require manufacturers to compete with a car that takes styling cues from a production model.<\/p>\n
General Motors removed \u201cCamaro\u201d branding from the Cup Series, instead electing to run \u201cChevrolet\u201d on the rear bumper of all its entries.<\/p>\n
Whether the Camaro moniker returns is unclear, though the NASCAR silhouette could conceivably debut before the road-going equivalent comes to light.<\/p>\n
In any case, Supercars team owners are interested in what\u2019s to come, with the Australian series almost certain to follow NASCAR\u2019s lead at some stage.<\/p>\n
Matt Stone, whose eponymous squad has campaigned three cars at various points in 2025, said he is eager to see what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cGM have obviously made their [Supercars] commitment through to the end of this era, which I believe is 2028 or something \u2013 but I believe that that\u2019s not the end of the GM story,\u201d said Stone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know something\u2019s coming. Obviously it\u2019ll come out when it comes out. I dare say we know GM is going to be here for a long time to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cUs and Pete [Xiberras] as well, we\u2019re committed to the bowtie brand and we\u2019re looking forward to these announcements as they come out.\u201d<\/p>\n
PremiAir Racing boss Peter Xiberras was vying for his team to become the General Motors homologation squad \u2013 but was pipped to the post by Team 18.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, there is optimism about how much is being spent by General Motors in the wake of Triple Eight\u2019s defection to Ford.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, we don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming. We\u2019ve all been given the assurance that there is something coming,\u201d said Xiberras.<\/p>\n
\u201cGM, from what I can see, is really putting in some effort and spent some money.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, there is a little bit of an unknown for next year. It all changes for us in GM-land, but I think it\u2019s exciting. There\u2019s a lot to look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even if NASCAR does debut a new-look Chevrolet in the Cup Series, a simultaneous switch by Supercars isn\u2019t expected.<\/p>\n
Matt Stone Racing, PremiAir Racing, Erebus Motorsport, and Team 18 will be the four Chevrolet teams in Supercars in 2026.<\/p>\n
There are six Chevrolet teams in the NASCAR Cup Series \u2013 Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, Spire Motorsports, Kaulig Racing, Trackhouse Racing, and Hyak Motorsports.<\/p>\n
