NASHVILLE, TN — The stars of the zMAX CARS Tour are coming to Music City.
For the first time ever, the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car (LMSC) and Pro Late Model divisions will take on the historic Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
This exciting doubleheader will bring two of the most competitive short track divisions in the country together for an unforgettable night of racing at one of America’s most iconic venues. The Pro Late Model portion of the event will be co-sanctioned with the JEGS/CRA All Stars Tour presented by Chevrolet Performance as well as the Nashville Pro Late class.
The CARS Tour Late Model Stock (LMSC) program is recognized as the southeast’s premier late model stock car touring series. The division features mandatory Five Star Race Car bodies and offers competitors the option of four different engine packages, with cars weighing between 3,100 and 3,150 pounds. Utilizing a perimeter chassis, these cars are purpose-built for the close-quarters, side-by-side racing that defines short track competition across the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Since its formation, the CARS Tour has become one of the most respected and entertaining regional touring series in the country — now elevated even further under the ownership of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, and Justin Marks. Their leadership has continued to grow the series’ reach and reputation, bringing national-level professionalism to grassroots racing while maintaining its fan-first, community-driven foundation.
The addition of Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway to the 2026 schedule marks another milestone for the CARS Tour and offers fans in Middle Tennessee a rare opportunity to see two of the most competitive late model divisions on the same stage — under the lights at one of the most storied short tracks in America.
Advance sale tickets for the event will go on sale, Monday, January 12, 2026. More details, including ticket information, race day schedule, and additional event activities, will be announced in the coming months.
