Nine Events For Super Cup Stock Car Series

STATESVILLE, N.C. – The stage is already set for a seven-month campaign to test the skills of the Super Cup Stock Car Series competitors.

The 2022 schedule includes nine dates at seven noteworthy venues across four different states in which every track where a green flag was flown in 2021 is back as well as a returning addition.

Much like it has since 2018, the upcoming season commences at Dominion Raceway in Thornburg, Va. Immediately off interstate 95, the multipurpose complex has become a favorite among fans and racers since being constructed less than a decade ago. The April 23 date will mark the first time the four-tenths-mile paved oval features the weekly headlining late model division the same night as the SCSCS for its own feature races, making for a big evening of festivities.

Three weeks later, it will be off to eastern Ohio for the 11th appearance at the three-tenths-mile paved oval of Midvale Speedway.  As it has on each occasion, 2021’s event featured close door to door racing on the bullring oval, but with a slightly different challenge for everyone following a repave of the corners. In recent weeks, another coat of fresh asphalt was put down, allowing for a few months for the surface to sit and cure this time before the 2022 season begins.

The month of June begins with an annual stopover to Virginia’s Shenandoah Speedway for the prestigious Veterans Classic, collecting donations for veteran’s charities, with the SCSCS and all local divisions battling in front of the picturesque mountain backdrop and looking to obtain a unique set of trophies.

Kicking off the summer on June 18 is the second consecutive visit to UMI Motorsports Park for the Keystone Twins as part of their TeamCross Autocross weekend.  Last year the series was welcomed positively by the local crowd upon the running of a 75-lap main event, the first on the five-eighths-mile paved oval since 2015. Double the checkered flags are up for grabs in 2022 which is sure to present even more excitement on this particular Saturday evening.

Next up to start the second half of the calendar year will be a familiar sight to many, the Jennerstown Speedway Complex on July 9.  The half-mile paved oval has been on the schedule since reopening in 2014 and is one of the closest track partners of the series, having celebrated a milestone of 25 green flags taken by the field in their final stop of ’21 to the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania last August.

Upgrades have continually been made to enhance the fan and visitor experience, including installation of all new LED Musco lighting inside the infield during the offseason.

Following a summer break for teams and crews to enjoy time with their family, the SCSCS gets back into gear on August 20 at Motor Mile Speedway.  The Radford, Virginia speedplant hosted two events in 2021, the first ever for the series and was well-received by each of the competitors.

At this point of the season, the championship stretch begins with two return visits to tracks that had already featured SCSCS racing action earlier in the year.  Sept. 10 will be the second occurrence at Jennerstown with performance being the key this late in the running.  Then on Oct. 1, Dominion is back again to position competitors for the final run toward the various awards up for grabs.

Lastly, an addition to the schedule on Oct. 22 will be a return to a historic facility. North Carolina’s Hickory Motor Speedway, one of the first tracks the Super Cup Stock Car Series visited when formed in 2007, will host the Championship Weekend presented in part by Startown Carpet and Floor Coverings. The final races of the season will be run in conjunction with an appearance by the FASS Big Rig Series.

The twin main event format remains intact for the 2022 racing season, in which teams will often be facing the task that comes with competing once in daylight and once following sunset, all the while managing one set of American Racer tires throughout qualifying and both features.

An optional date of August 6th is being considered in the event of any prior postponement due to weather or any miscellaneous factors.  Schedule, as always, is subject to change.

SCSCS races will once again be aired from MAVTV Motorsports Network, as well as SPEEDSPORT.TV affiliate Pit Row TV. Further details are forthcoming.
