During the seventh stage of the 2026 NASCAR Brasil season at the Circuito dos Cristais oval in Curvelo, Minas Gerais, several significant results were recorded.

Thiago Camilo, driving the Ford #21 for Full Time Sports, secured his first oval victory by defeating Arthur Gama by 0.268 seconds. This win allowed Camilo to take the lead in the regular championship. In the same event, Tito Giaffone finished seventh in the Challenge class during the second race after facing difficulties with overtaking and an earlier incident.

In a separate historic achievement during Race 2 of the same stage, Colombian driver Tatiana Calderón became the first woman to win a race in the category. Driving a Ford Mustang for Pole Motorsport by SG28, Calderón climbed from a 15th-place starting position to finish fourth in the first race of the day. 

In the second race, she took the lead following an incident involving Alfredo Ibiapina and successfully defended her position against Felipe Malinowski to secure the win with a time of 33:56.418. Malinowski finished second, followed by Ricardo Mauricio in third. This victory advanced Calderón to the top 12 drivers eligible for the 20-point playoff bonus, securing her a spot in the postseason scheduled for October 31 to November 1 in Chapecó.
