A weekend of winning
Chevrolet’s racing pedigree was on full display this weekend. Kyle Larson captured his second-straight NASCAR Cup Series Championship behind the wheel of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Larson found another gear during The Chase (NASCAR’s playoffs), dominating the field and becoming the first back-to-back champ since 2010. This marks an amazing 35th Cup Series Drivers Championship for Chevrolet and 16th overall for Hendrick Motorsports.
Justin Allgaier kept the good times rolling, winning the 2026 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Drivers Championship, his second title in three years. This continues a reign of dominance that’s seen Chevrolet race to 10 consecutive manufacturer championships.
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.
