Calendar changes
- Autódromo Internacional de Santa Cruz do Sul, which hosted the 2022 season opening round, was removed from the schedule due to the venue undergoing renovations. Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna (Goiânia) will be hosting the season opening round in its place.
- Autódromo Internacional de Cascavel returned to the schedule after a single season of hiatus.
- On 7 June 2023, NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race announced that the second Autódromo José Carlos Pace round will now host the season finale on 10 December instead of the fifth round of the season. The schedule change was requested by the Municipality of São Paulo due to "the need to carry out a schedule of works" that needed to be done at Interlagos. The second round at Goiânia's Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna, which was initially scheduled to host the final round on 19 November, will now host the fifth round of the season on 30 July.[39]

Standings
Overall
Points are awarded to the driver's entry. While the drivers from all classes would compete at the same time, they would only score points on their respective classes, nonetheless the exception is the special edition race 1 and 2 that scored based on the final result not taking into account the class position. If an entrant entered two drivers, then both drivers would earn points for their entry. Drivers must complete at least 75% of the race in order to be classified for points. Drivers are allowed to discard points from one Special Edition score and one Brazilian championship score towards their final tally in the overall standings.[40]
