“Kill It” – Leaked Image of NASCAR’s Rumored EV Crossover Divides Racing Fandom

In July 2022, a leaked document, pulsating with potential, hinted that NASCAR is gearing up to infuse electrification into the exhilarating 2023 Busch Light Clash. The leak wasn’t just a mere whisper; it came with tantalizing illustrations showcasing a Ford Mustang Mach-E, a 2024 Chevy Blazer SS, and a Toyota bZ4X, all reimagined as cutting-edge Cup cars. These machines, a perfect blend of power and innovation, highlight NASCAR’s Gen Seven cars’ modular design, a testament to versatility and futuristic thinking, seamlessly accommodating any drivetrain. The transition to electrifying bodies appears not just feasible but thrillingly imminent.

A fresh buzz: an image of a sleek, crossover-shaped EV has taken the internet by storm. Insiders whisper that this electric marvel is undergoing covert tests, possibly as a trailblazing NASCAR electric race car concept. While NASCAR’s chiefs maintain a mysterious silence about their electric racing ambitions, the fans are roaring with anticipation and excitement.

Unveiling NASCAR’s thrilling electric future

In the NASCAR world, whispers of an electrified era began as early as 2021, when the original Next Gen Cup Series platform wrapped up. Yet, the mystery of what an electric NASCAR stock car might look like remained unsolved—no cars on display, no sneak peeks, not a single rendering. NASCAR kept its cards hidden, leaving fans and the public in suspense. Now, the veil is lifting, offering a glimpse into the electrifying face of NASCAR’s future.

A recently leaked image of a car has stirred up the racing community. It bears striking similarities to the hotly anticipated Blazer SS EV. However, a NASCAR OEM partner insider hints that this could be a generic, unbranded prototype, echoing the design of Chevrolet – reminiscent of the original, unbranded Next Gen test car that shared a close resemblance with the current Camaro.

This revelation aligns with insights from multiple well-informed sources, confirming that this illustration mirrors the concepts NASCAR has been pondering over. Mirroring the current Next Gen cars, modeled after the Camaro, Mustang, and Camry, these future EV racers are expected to be bold, exaggerated versions of their production counterparts, embodying an ultra-aggressive aesthetic.

NASCAR insiders revealed that this innovative car builds on the Next Gen chassis that debuted in the top-tier Cup Series in 2022, with modifications to welcome electric powertrain components. The design has been tweaked, particularly at the rear end, to accommodate the unique structure of electric crossovers. This aligns with the predictions that NASCAR’s EV racers, since 2022, would adopt this body style.

Giants like Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota, stalwarts in NASCAR’s major series, hint at future races featuring the likes of a Blazer EV, a Mustang Mach-E, and a bZ4X. Notably, while Chevrolet and Toyota have yet to reveal a track-ready version of their crossovers, Ford has already dazzled the world with a seven-motor, 1400-horsepower Mach-E concept since 2020.
