2026 CARS Tour

Landen Lewis, the defending Late Model Stock Car champion.

The 2026 CARS Tour will be the 30th season of the zMAX CARS Tour, a stock car racing series. It will begin at Southern National Motorsports Park on February 28 and will end at South Boston Speedway on October 15.[1]

Landen Lewis entered the season as the defending Late Model Stock Tour champion, while Ben Maier entered as the defending Pro Late Model Tour championship.[2][3] It is currently unknown if either driver will return to the series in 2026, as Lewis will compete part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Niece Motorsports in 2026,[4] while Maier's plans are not confirmed.
