Before the season started Aric announced that 2022 will be his final year because he felt like spending more time with his family.

Apart from the retirements there was a huge crash in the 2022 Florida 500 where Rebecca Rose cause a very serious accident and Sky crashed into 21 pit boxes (including his own) injuring 126 Pitties and 21 Crew chiefs. Rebecca Rose got fired from Temple Speed. Vinyl Toupee withdrew for 3 races after one of there pities died so Will Rusch found a sponsorship deal with Dusk Studios and singed a 3 race contract.

The Olympus 500 Free Practice's were hell as Flip Dover stalled in the middle of turn3 and J.D. McPillar crashed into his sending both cars flying out of the speedway flipping 23 times, Dover and McPillar were killed on impact, but Flip Dover was beaten to death by the Tow Cap pit crew.
