Daniel Dye, the current points leader.

The 2022 ARCA Menards Series is the 70th season of the ARCA Menards Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season began at Daytona International Speedway with the Lucas Oil 200 on February 19 and will end with the Shore Lunch 200 at Toledo Speedway on October 8.

Ty Gibbs, the 2021 series champion, is running full-time for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2022 and therefore did not return to run full-time in the ARCA Menards Series and defend his title.

Silly Season news and updates

Confirmed changes

Teams

  • On August 30, 2021, it was announced that Rev Racing would be expanding to two full-time cars in the main ARCA Menards Series with Rajah Caruth, who drove full-time for the team in the East Series in 2021, driving the second car. Nick Sanchez will return to the team full-time in the other car.[4] (As a result, the team will not field a full-time car in the East Series in 2022.)[33]
  • On October 7, 2021, an article on Frontstretch revealed that Rev Racing will receive manufacturer support from Chevy in 2022, which they did not have in 2021 despite being a Chevy team.[3]
  • Miles Thomas Motorsports will debut in 2022. The team will compete full-time or part-time in both the ARCA Menards Series and Xfinity Series with Jason Miles, who is also a co-owner of the team. Miles competed part-time in ARCA for Fast Track Racing in 2019 and 2021. Ford will be their manufacturer. The team has yet to announce their car number, sponsors, and crew chief.[20]
  • On October 29, 2021, GMS Racing announced that Daniel Dye, who drove their No. 21 car part-time in the main ARCA Series and the East Series in 2021, would run full-time in the same car in 2022 in the main ARCA Series. It will be the first time since 2015 that GMS has fielded a full-time car in the main ARCA Series.[2] On December 10, Dye announced that the car number would change to the No. 43, which was his late model racing number, a number he used in the East Series with Ben Kennedy Racing, as well as a number that GMS will use in the Cup Series in 2022 as a result of the team purchasing the majority of Richard Petty Motorsports to become Petty GMS Motorsports (although this ARCA car will remain a GMS car and not become a Petty GMS car).[34]

Drivers

  • With Ty Gibbs all but confirmed to be moving up to the Xfinity Series full-time in 2022, Sammy Smith, the 2021 ARCA Menards Series East champion, is likely to return to Joe Gibbs Racing to drive the No. 18 car in most of the races in the main ARCA Series in 2022. However, because he will not turn 18 (the minimum age to race at all tracks) until June 4, 2022, he will need to miss all of the races at the larger tracks (such as Daytona and Talladega) that happen before then.[6] Smith confirmed to Frontstretch that this was likely the plan, and that Mark McFarland would return as his crew chief in 2022.[3]
  • On October 29, 2021, GMS Racing announced that Daniel Dye, who drove their No. 21 car part-time in the main ARCA Series and the East Series in 2021, would run full-time in the same car (later renumbered to the No. 43)[34] in 2022 in the main ARCA Series. Dye will turn 18 on December 4, 2021, after which he will be eligible to run all the races.[2]
  • On January 13, 2022, Venturini Motorsports announced that Toni Breidinger would drive their No. 25 car full-time in 2022. She previously drove part-time in the series in 2018 for Venturini and in 2021 for Venturini as well as Young's Motorsports.[11]

Schedule changes

Broadcasting

The TV lineup is similar to what it looked like in 2021, with FS1 airing almost all of the races that occur at tracks that the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series go to and have races at on the same weekend as the ARCA Menards Series and FS1 is at the track to broadcast at least one of those series. The rest of the races are aired on MAVTV. The only races that FS1 is not broadcasting where the Cup, Xfinity and/or Truck Series does have a race at on the same weekend are Phoenix and Kansas, which are both on MAVTV.[39]

NBC Sports TrackPass, which previously had the streaming rights to all of the MAVTV races, lost the rights to FloRacing. The Fox Sports App will continue to stream all of the races on FS1.[40]

Notes:

  • The pole winner also receives 1 bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.[41]
  • Additionally, after groups of 5 races of the season, drivers that compete in all 5 races receive 50 additional points.[41] These points bonuses will be given after the races at Charlotte, Pocono, Milwaukee and Toledo.
