Daytona 500 2022: Start time, TV, streaming schedule, lineup for NASCAR Cup Series season opener
NASCAR is back — and with a brand new car — as the 2022 season kicks off with the 64th Daytona 500.
Two weeks after debuting the Next Gen car at exhibition Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum in Los Angeles, Cup Series drivers will race the new vehicles at NASCAR's most famous track — Daytona International Speedway.
Several drivers changed teams in the offseason and a few new teams will debut, but one thing that hasn't changed is Kyle Larson up front. The reigning Cup Series champion posted the fastest time in qualifying and will start on the pole. He'll have a Hendrick Motorsports teammate alongside him in Alex Bowman, who is starting on the Daytona 500 front row for the fifth consecutive year.
