The 2026 CARS Tour is the 30th season of the zMAX CARS Tour, a stock car racing series. It began at Southern National Motorsports Park on February 28, and will end at South Boston Speedway on October 15. Caden Kvapil won the Late Model Stock Tour championship.
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. Both Lewis and Maier will not run a full season to defend their titles, as Lewis competes part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Niece Motorsports in 2026, while Maier runs part-time in the same series.
