Fall Brawl at Hickory Motor Speedway: TV channel, live stream, entry list, schedule, more for 2022

It’s about a month later than originally planned, but Hickory Motor Speedway will wrap up the 2022 racing season with the 25th annual running of the Fall Brawl this Saturday, Nov. 12.

Since opening in 1951 as a half-mile dirt track, Hickory Motor Speedway has served as a hub of short track racing in North Carolina. Some of racing’s greatest stars have competed at the track, which is now a 0.363-mile asphalt oval. They include legendary names like Junior Johnson, Jack Ingram, Harry Gant, Tommy Houston and Ralph Earnhardt, all of whom have won track championships at Hickory.

While times have changed, the popularity and short track culture at Hickory Motor Speedway have not. Now run by promoter Kevin Piercy, the track known as “the Birthplace of NASCAR Stars” continues to host NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series events from March through October.

The Fall Brawl is typically held in October and serves as the non-point season finale for the headlining Late Model Stock Car division. The 2022 edition, which will be the 25th running of the race, was postponed to Nov. 12 to guarantee tire availability.

The lucky dog rule will be in effect for this event. Any car involved in a caution will not be eligible for the lucky dog award.

Fall Brawl history, winners

Hickory Motor Speedway has hosted an annual major event every fall for decades, but the event known as the Fall Brawl wasn’t created until 1998.

The inaugural event was won by a man best known as a NASCAR Cup Series championship winning crew chief, Rodney Childers. However, long before he was a successful crew chief for Stewart-Haas Racing and Kevin Harvick, Childers was a skilled Late Model competitor in the Southeast.

Childers was first of many recognizable names to win the Fall Brawl. Josh Berry, the 2020 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series National champion and five-time NASCAR Xfinity Series race winner, is the only multi-time Fall Brawl winner. He’s won the event a whopping four times.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver and 23XI Racing co-owner Denny Hamlin made a name for himself by winning the Fall Brawl in 2003, three years before his first full NASCAR Cup Series season. Ben Rhodes, the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion, conquered the Fall Brawl in 2013.

Other recognizable names to win the Fall Brawl include Anthony Alfredo, Dennis Setzer, Tyler Ankrum, Taylor Gray, Matt McCall, Pietro Fittipaldi and Coleman Pressley. Mason Diaz is the defending Fall Brawl race winner in the Late Model Stock Car class.
