Here now are the NASCAR drivers to race in BC39 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2022
A strong team of drivers with ties to the NASCAR National Series will compete in this week’s BC39 race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The annual USAC Midget event honoring the late Brian Clausen takes place on the Turn 3 quarter-mile dirt road of the historic IMS Oval.
This year, the BC39 will once again represent champions from the motorsports world, including NASCAR, USAC, World of Outlaws, Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions and more.
The entry list includes the names of champions and race winners from the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Check out the list of NASCAR-related drivers who will compete in the races below.
Kyle Larson
The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion is also the youngest BC39 champion. A year ago, Larson won $15,000 in a thrilling battle with Open Wheel stars Justin Grant and Thomas Messerul. In addition to winning the 2021 BC39 championship, Larson also won the final two heats of the Stoops Pursuit competition on Wednesday night.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Stenhouse returns to BC39 after missing last year’s edition of the event. JTG Daugherty Racing’s No. 47 full-time driver on the NASCAR Cup Series track finished 11th in the inaugural BC39 before finishing 7th for the best finish of 2019. This time Stenhouse will be driving the #08 race car Dave Mac Dalby Motorsports.
Hunter Briscoe
Briscoe, the No. 14-ranked Stewart-Haas driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, never missed out in his three years at the BC39. After failing to qualify in 2018, he finished 24th in 2019 and a career-best 11th a year earlier. After winning his first NASCAR Cup Series win at Phoenix Speedway earlier this year, Briscoe has been busy all year with his Chase ‘n Dirt Tour racing MIdgets, Sprint Cars and Dirt Late Models.
Shelton Creed
The 2020 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion will make his USAC Midget debut at BC39. Creed currently races full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity series with Richard Childress Racing, and he has started some dirty racing over the past few years. He has raced Dirt Late Models, UMP Modifieds and Micro Sprints, most notably at Millbridge Speedway in North Carolina.
JJ Yali
Yeley had success on the dirt before starting his NASCAR career, returning to BC39 after trying all three previous editions of the race. He failed to qualify on three previous attempts. In 2003, Yeley won the USAC Triple Crown after winning the USAC National Midget, USAC National Sprint Car and USAC Silver Crown in the same year. On the NASCAR Tour, he competed in 342 NASCAR Cup Series races and 369 NASCAR Xfinity Series races.
Ryan Newman
Although Newman no longer competes in the NASCAR Cup Series full-time, he is a household name to NASCAR fans. He is also a familiar face of BC39, having attended the event last year. That year, Newman raced full-time at the Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) and won at Stafford Speedway. In addition to driving the SRX, he has also raced Midgets, Road Sprints, Tour-Type Modifieds and USAC Silver Crowns this season. Now, for the first time since January’s Chili Bowl Nationals, he’s back as a dirty midget.
Dillon Welch
While primarily known for driving race cars, Welch is a well-known figure in the NASCAR world. After missing last year’s event, he returned to BC39. The son of FOX Sports NASCAR broadcaster Vince Welch, Welch forged his own path in the broadcast industry as a reporter for NBC Sports and MRN Radio. He is also the co-host of the Loudpedal Podcast on FloRacing. Behind the wheel, Welch succeeded with a limited schedule. In January, he qualified for the A-Main for the prestigious Chili Bowl Nationals.

The NASCAR Truck Series’ new name isn’t the only old-school change on the way.

The NASCAR Truck Series’ new name isn’t the only old-school change on the way.
The NASCAR Truck Series will return to its roots in more ways than one, with longtime and original series sponsor Craftsman returning as the circuit’s flagship sponsor.
In 1995, NASCAR launched what was initially called as the Craftsman SuperTruck Series. From 1996 through 2008, the Craftsman Truck Series was the title sponsor, before Camping World took over in 2009. Craftsman, as well as certain classic courses, will return as title sponsors in 2023.
The NASCAR Truck Series began as a distinct short-track series from the Cup Series.
Ken Schrader won the 1995 Scott Irvin Chevrolet/Craftsman 200 at the 1/3 mile Saugus Speedway.
It was the first and only SuperTruck Series race at the track.

The Truck Series launched mostly on small tracks and traveled extensively outside of the Cup and Xfinity Series schedules. The 1995 season included 18 races on tracks one mile in length or less, and majority of those tracks were west of the Mississippi River, a side of the country largely unexplored by NASCAR at the time. The series, however, is currently held on tracks in Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, California, and Kansas.
The 1995 Cup Series calendar, on the other hand, had only two events in the country’s western half. Sonoma Raceway in northern California held a Cup Series race in May, while Phoenix Raceway in Arizona was the season’s concluding stop in late October.
Because of the nature of competition on small tracks, the Truck Series began to establish its identity in the sport with races on unique courses that featured close, violent racing. For years, the series visited North Wilkesboro Speedway, the Milwaukee Mile, and Indianapolis Raceway Park (later called Lucas Oil Raceway), until they all faded away.
The Truck Series evolved become mostly a support series for Cup Series racing weekends.
The Truck Series raced only twice at North Wilkesboro, which had hosted NASCAR races since 1949, until the whole sport withdrew the 0.625-mile North Carolina racetrack from its schedules after the 1996 season and went to intermediate facilities in major media centers such as Los Angeles and Dallas.
The 0.686-mile Indianapolis Raceway Park track had been a staple in the Xfinity Series since its inception in 1982, and the Truck Series had joined from 1995 to 2011 until the Xfinity Series moved to the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway across town to create a tandem weekend with the Cup Series at the massive facility. The Truck Series merely cut the race date, dropping from 25 to 22 races every season.
The Milwaukee Mile, one of the country’s oldest race tracks, was built in 1903 and previously held Xfinity Series events from 1984 to 1985 and again beginning in 1993. Beginning in 1995, the Truck Series joined in, and both ran at the historic track until 2009.
Every weekend, the Truck Series began to race at the same circuits as the Cup and Xfinity series. By 2014, the trucks have only competed in four events at tracks other than the Cup Series.
Since stock car racing originated predominantly on dirt tracks in the early days, the inclusion of a race at the Eldora Speedway dirt track in Ohio in 2013 attempted to help fill the hole. Eldora was off the Truck Series schedule from 2013 until 2019, despite the fact that the track has never run on dirt before. Knoxville Raceway in Iowa, which held a Truck Series race each of the last two seasons, is not on the calendar for 2023.

Tough as they come. 👊

Instead, the Truck Series has reclaimed a little portion of its former character. After kicking off the 2022 playoffs with a spectacular race at IRP, the series will return to the track in 2023. It will also compete the day before the Cup Series All-Star Race in North Wilkesboro in May.
In another unusual decision, the series will return to the Milwaukee Mile in late August to headline a weekend of racing alongside the ARCA Menards Series, which won a race there in 2021.
NASCAR has lost much of its heritage over the last two decades, and the closure of tracks like IRP and the Milwaukee Mile were clear indicators of the situation. Sure, there was more money in greater markets on larger circuits, but it also diluted what was previously unique and entertaining about the Truck Series, turning it into simply one of three races at the same venue as the other two series, which mainly had better famous drivers.
Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina is another track that NASCAR has abandoned and is now being repaved. The Truck Series raced there twice between 2012 and 2013, so “The Rock” could be the next old track to return to the NASCAR schedule.
If not, fans will be able to see racing at tracks they either remember from a long time ago or have heard about and will finally be able to see for themselves. In any case, it is a step in the right direction.

Nascar News: Daniel Suarez Promises ‘Payback’ After Darlington Incident

Nascar News: Daniel Suarez Promises ‘Payback’ After Darlington Incident
NASCAR: Trackhouse Racing’s Daniel Suarez isn’t happy with another post-cup season racer. After making contact with Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell on the South 500 schedule at Darlington, he promised to pay him back.
“I’ll bring him back whenever I need him,” Suarez said after the game when he was free. “I’m not saying it’s going to be Kansas or Bristol. But he certainly owes it to me, and I’ll save it for later.”
Suarez went on to say that he would decide when to repay and that contact should not happen. He said he was lucky to be able to continue after hitting the wall “very, very hard” and losing several positions at the end of the stage.

The incident occurred with 5 laps remaining in Stage 2. Suarez and Bale rode side by side, with William Byron and Joey Logano behind them. Bell pinched #99 outside and let it hit the wall. That contact damaged Suarez’s original car and cost him the positions of Bale, Logano, Byron and Alex Bowman.
Suarez was still able to score three points in the second period, but less than he had hoped. He’s also concerned about the extent of damage #99 will do to the rest of the South 500.
Suarez criticises behaviour of some drivers
Suarez is only making his first playoff appearance in the cup series, but he avoided some “rookie mistakes” in the South 500. He didn’t try too hard to get stage points or fight for the win, and he left South Carolina with extra points.
Suarez noted that different drivers take different approaches to the lights. He pointed to their aggressiveness and explained that the South 500 was only the first game of the Cup playoffs. There are still two races to go before the field shrinks to just 12 drivers qualified for the championship.
“How smart are some drivers?” Suarez asked in a video shot by TSJ Sports’ Noah Lewis. “It’s just the first lap — the first race — we’re already racing like this. We’re not even in stage three. But it’s what it is. I can only drive 99 cars.”
Suarez gets some points in playoffs
While Suarez suffered some injuries in the playoffs, he was able to make some moves and move up the top 16. He now sits above the divide with two games remaining in the round of 16. Although he does have a slight edge over Team Penske’s Austin Cinderick.
Suarez was at a disadvantage heading into the playoffs weekend as he was below the original cut line. He had to do something to avoid early elimination from the playoffs, but he first had to take another major setback.
Trackhouse Racing’s No. 99 Chevrolet failed inspection three times at Darlington. That means Suarez will lose a crew member, his pit stop selection and the opportunity to drive the qualifying lap. He had to start in the backcourt before taking a free throw on the first lap of the Southern 500.
Although he fell in an early lap, Suarez received an early gift. Rain forced NASAR officials to set up a warning sign on lap 6, giving No. 99 a chance to avoid the waves and get back into the lead lap.

The green flag is flying because it’s time for another NASCAR season.
The NASCAR Cup Series begins its 74th season with the Daytona 500 on February 20. Many venue and race names will be familiar to NASCAR fans. One thing you’ll notice about this year’s schedule, however, is that games will start a little later than fans have become accustomed to in recent years. It’s part of NASCAR’s broader goal of maximizing audiences, as explained by Brian Herbst, NASCAR’s senior vice president of media and production.
“Based on data and fan feedback from the past few years, changing the afternoon start time allows more of our fans — whether at home or on the track — to attend Sunday’s NASCAR race,” Herbst said in a release. Say. “Furthermore, for over a decade, the broadcast of most televised games in the Cup Series is in line with our strategy of distributing content to as many fans as possible during key moments of the season.”
Below is the full schedule for the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series, including start times and TV channels for each race.
