Felipinho Tozzo has been confirmed for the 2026 NASCAR Brasil Series season. One of the rising stars in national motorsport, the driver from Chapecó (SC) has signed a contract with Team RC and will remain on the grid after a solid campaign marked by his consistent presence among the protagonists of each stage.
As the son of Felipe Tozzo, champion of the Copa Truck and the Mercedes-Benz Challenge, Felipinho grew up in the world of motorsport. He made a name for himself in karting, where he won the title of the Copa Brasil in 2021, and then transitioned to touring cars, making his debut in the NASCAR Brasil Series in 2023.
At just 20 years old, the driver is excited and highlights his motivation for another season. “I’m very happy and honored to be participating for another year in this highly professional category and alongside this great team. I hope to conquer as many points as possible and bring a great return to my sponsors,” says the driver of the Chevrolet Camaro #57.
2026 also marks a new technical chapter in the NASCAR Brasil with the arrival of the RiSE26 car. “I know it’s a much faster car than what we’re used to. It will be a big challenge, and I hope to adapt as quickly as possible,” he analyzes.
“We’re continuing together with Felipinho, and we have total confidence in his potential. We’re entering the season with the clear objective of competing for the title of the Challenge category,” declares Marcel Campos, team principal of Team RC.
Confirmed to compete in all stages of the championship, Felipinho will have a special ingredient in the calendar. “I’ll be doing the full season, and I’m very happy to have the opportunity to race in my hometown for the first time, in Chapecó,” completes the driver.
With three seasons under his belt, Felipinho enters 2026 knowing the ins and outs of the grid, with a refined understanding of the competition. The season promises to be exciting.
