2022 NASCAR Racing TV Schedules on Fox Sports & NBC Sports
Kyle Larson had a dominant 2021 season that saw him win 10 races — the most since Jimmie Johnson won 10 in 2007 — and put the icing on the cake with a Championship 4 win at Phoenix and his first NASCAR Cup Series title.
Here’s a peek at the biggest changes in store as Larson and his cohorts start their engines for 2022:
Next Gen Cars
NASCAR rolls out the latest Next Gen cars featuring redesigned bodies and chassis, enhanced aerodynamics, wider tires, 18-inch aluminum wheels with a single lug, rack-and-pinion steering, durable carbon-fiber materials and much more.
Clash at the Coliseum
The Clash, a non-points race traditionally held at Daytona, is run February 6 (Fox) on a 0.25-mile temporary asphalt oval in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum will be the first NASCAR race held in a stadium used by the NFL since Chicago’s Soldier Field hosted one in 1956.
Schedule Shifts
Action at Daytona begins with the Bluegreen Vacations Duels (February 17, FS1) and the famed Daytona 500 (February 20, Fox), but the road race at Daytona is off the schedule. The Cup Series returns to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, February 27 (Fox) after a pandemic-caused hiatus. The Food City Dirt Race at Bristol (April 17, Fox) is the first NASCAR race on Easter since 1989. World Wide Technology Raceway near St. Louis makes its Cup Series debut on June 5.
Ganassi Says Goodbye
Chip Ganassi Racing sold its NASCAR operations to Trackhouse Racing, owned by Justin Marks and recording artist Pitbull. Trackhouse fields a two-Chevy team with Ross Chastain in the No. 1 and Daniel Suarez in the No. 99.
23XI Expands
23XI Racing, owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, brings in a new teammate for Bubba Wallace with Kurt Busch driving the No. 45 Toyota.
RFK Racing
Brad Keselowski joins RFK Racing (formerly Roush Fenway Racing) as a driver/owner, competing in the No. 6 Ford previously driven by Ryan Newman. Austin Cindric takes over the No. 2 Team Penske Ford.
NASCAR on TV
Fox and FS1 split coverage of the first half of the season, with NBC and USA Network taking over the second half and playoffs. Jeff Gordon leaves the Fox broadcast booth for a high-level role with Hendrick Motorsports.
