The BRB Stock Car Pro Series, formerly known as Stock Car Brasil, is a touring car auto racing series based in Brazil organized by Vicar. It is considered the major Brazilian and South American motorsports series. Starting in 1979 with Chevrolet as the only constructor, the series has also seen other constructors joining in and leaving such as Mitsubishi, Peugeot and Volkswagen, currently the only other besides Chevrolet is Toyota. The competition has seen many internationally famous drivers in its ranks, such as Rubens Barrichello, Felipe Massa, Bruno Junqueira, Lucas di Grassi, Nelson Piquet Jr., Ricardo Zonta and Tony Kanaan. The series is named for its current title sponsor, Banco de Brasília.

It began in 1979 as the Campeonato Brasileiro de Stock Cars, created by General Motors as an alternative to the Division 1 series. From 2005 to 2009, a deal with Nextel gave the series the title of Copa Nextel Stock Car. In 2010, Caixa Econômica Federal signed a three-year title sponsorship deal with Vicar, and the series was renamed to Copa Caixa Stock Car until 2012. Despite its prestige in South America as a whole, the series is largely centered in Brazilian circuits, with the vast majority of races occurring in the country. However, in recent years, Uruguay and Argentina have both held races.

The Stock Series, formerly known as Stock Car Light, serves as the access category to the Pro Series.
