Atlanta Motor Speedway will host NASCAR Cup Series events in March and July, according to the 2022 Cup Series schedule that was released by NASCAR on Wednesday morning.
AMS will host the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 on March 20, and the Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart on July 10.
The track will release more information later about events surrounding those races.
“We’re beyond excited to start a new era of NASCAR racing in Atlanta on our all-new, 28-degree banked track,” Brandon Hutchison, the AMS executive vice president and general manager, said Wednesday in a news release. “You’ll want to circle these dates on the calendar because there’s no doubt the March and July weekends in Atlanta are going to be can’t-miss events on the NASCAR schedule.”
This year, Ryan Blaney won the March Cup Series race at AMS, and Kurt Busch won the race in July.
NASCAR’s regular season will begin Feb. 20 with the Daytona 500. Before that, NASCAR will conduct its annual exhibition race, the Clash, at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Feb. 6. This will be the first time that the Clash will be held outside Daytona International Speedway since its debut in 1979.
The season will end Nov. 6 in Phoenix.
Start times for the Cup Series events will be announced later, as will the schedules for the Xfinity Series and the Camping World Truck Series.
