The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, or NASCAR as it’s more commonly known, is the biggest and most popular stock car racing organisation in the world. And with over 75 years of history, it’s no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting the 2022 NASCAR schedule. While the 2021 season has only just begun, there are already some big changes happening for next year.
The most notable is the addition of a new race track – Nashville Superspeedway – which will host two races in 2022. This 1.33-mile oval track is located in Lebanon, Tennessee and is sure to provide some exciting racing action. Another change for next year is that the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval will be run as a standalone event, rather than being part of the Bank of America Roval 400 weekend like it was this year.
This 10-turn, 2.28-mile road course provides a unique challenge for drivers and is always one of the highlights of the season. As always, the NASCAR Cup Series will visit a wide variety of tracks across the United States, from superspeedways to short tracks and everything in between. So whatever your taste in racing action, you’re sure to find something to enjoy on the 2022 NASCAR schedule.
The NASCAR 2022 schedule has been released and it looks like another exciting year of racing is in store! The season will kick off with the Daytona 500 on February 20th and will conclude with the Homestead-Miami Speedway race on November 20th. Some of the other notable races include the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.
As always, there will be plenty of twists and turns throughout the season, so be sure to stay tuned!
