The Stock Car Brasil (also called the Brazilian Stock Car Championship) is a Brazilian motorsport modality created in 1979. It started as a single brand, with the support of Chevrolet. Over the years, other brands have entered and left the category such as Mitsubishi, Volkswagen and Peugeot. In 2017, Chevrolet continued as a sponsor. With 30 cars on the grid, the championship is disputed in 12 rounds, including 10 doubles, the Corrida do Milhão, and the grand final with double scores, covering six Brazilian states and the Federal District, plus the international round in Argentina. It currently has Stock Car Light as its base category, replacing the Brazilian Tourism Championship.
