The 2014 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series season was the eighth season of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, which took place in the summer of 2014.

Louis-Philippe Dumoulin won his first series championship at Kawartha Speedway, finishing three points ahead of J. R. Fitzpatrick. [2] Dumoulin won two races during the season, at Saskatoon and Trois-Rivières, and finished every race inside the top nine placings; this run included nine top-five finishes. Fitzpatrick won one more race than Dumoulin – winning both Canadian Tire Motorsport Park races, as well as the Kawartha finale – but only recorded three further top-five finishes. Despite not winning a race, D. J. Kennington finished third in the championship, eight points ahead of defending champion Steckly, who won at Saint-Eustache.

Three other drivers won races during the season, including Jason Hathaway and Andrew Ranger, who each won two races; Hathaway won the series' inaugural race at the quarter-mile Autodrome Chaudière as well as winning at Barrie Speedway, while Ranger won back-to-back races at ICAR and Edmonton International Raceway, another new venue to the 2014 schedule. The season's other winner was Donald Chisholm, who only contested two races during the year. Chisholm was the winner at Riverside International Speedway, a track that his father owned until his death in July 2014; it was his maiden series victory.
