The Stock Car Pro Series championship returned to the Circuito dos Cristais in Curvelo, Minas Gerais, for the eighth stage of the 2026 season, marking the start of the ‘Final Five’ decisive stages.

Heading into the weekend, Felipe Fraga held a commanding 183-point lead in the championship with 705 points, followed by Gabriel Casagrande with 522 points and Felipe Massa in third. The event offered a maximum of 137 points available through the pole position, sprint race, and main race.

In the sprint race, Leo Reis secured a victory from start to finish. While Rafael Reis initially crossed the line in second, a five-second penalty for improper DRS use promoted Arthur Leist to second place, with Gaetano Di Mauro finishing third.

In the main race, César Ramos, driving for Mercado Livre Racing, claimed his fifth category win. After starting from pole position, Ramos managed multiple safety car interventions and pressure from Guilherme Salas to secure the victory. Enzo Elias finished second on the podium, while Sergio Sette Câmara took third. The race was characterized by technical challenges and mechanical failures that triggered several safety car periods, affecting the pit stop strategies of the field.
