The CARS Tour has released the schedule for their Late Model Stock and Pro Late Model divisions. 15 events are on deck for the short track series co-owned by Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
View the 2026 CARS Tour schedule below.
Two new tracks are on the schedule and both are located in the state of Tennessee. The series will return to Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway while also visiting Newport Speedway for the first time.
Newport Speedway was recently resurrected after years of sitting dormant. New owner Chuck Ward re-opened the facility in April of this year. The 4/10-mile has seen a wide range of upgrades under new ownership.
In the past two seasons, the season finale has been run at North Wilkesboro Speedway. For 2026, the season finale will move to South Boston Speedway on Oct. 17.
