Notes[]

  1. ^ a b c At Las Vegas, Jaskol, who was scheduled to drive G2G's No. 46 truck full-time, moved to the team's No. 47 truck for this race only while Brennan Poole drove the No. 46. When Poole qualified for the race and Jaskol did not, G2G moved Jaskol back to the No. 46 replacing Poole, which is why he is listed in the No. 46 for all 23 races in addition to Poole.
  2. ^ Entries are fielded in a collaboration with GMS Racing.

Silly Season news and updates[]

Confirmed changes[]

Teams[]

  • On April 30, 2021, Bill McAnally Racing West Series driver Cole Moore revealed that McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, the Truck Series team Bill McAnally co-owns, may expand to two teams full-time in 2022.[59] On September 9, MHR announced that Colby Howard would drive full-time for the team in 2022 and it would most likely be in the team's new second truck. Howard previously drove the No. 15 for JD Motorsports in the Xfinity Series part-time in 2020 and full-time in 2021 until September, the Truck Series part-time in 2019 and 2021 for Young's Motorsports and CR7 Motorsports respectively, and the ARCA Menards Series in 2018 and 2019 for Mason Mitchell Motorsports and Win-Tron Racing respectively.[6][5]
  • On May 27, 2021, Tim Viens announced plans to field his own Truck Series team for the 2022 season, G2G Racing, after buying some Toyotas from Kyle Busch Motorsports. He has yet to announce if the team will run full-time or part-time, the number, and crew chief. Viens himself would likely drive at least some of the races the team runs.[60]
  • On November 23, 2021, Cup Series team Spire Motorsports announced plans to expand to the Truck Series in 2022. It has yet to be determined if they will field their one truck full-time or part-time and who their driver(s) will be.[50]
  • On November 28, 2021, former ARCA Menards Series team owner Roger Carter posted on Facebook that he and Mike Affarano would be jointly fielding a truck at Martinsville and Bristol.[46] The legitimacy of the entry and whether it will make it to the track has been questioned by social media users given Carter's numerous past legal issues as well as issues surrounding Affarano's team in the past, including how the team had to withdraw from last race they attempted, in 2020 at Homestead, due to outdated equipment. The truck that Affarano and Carter purchased was last used by NTS Motorsports, a team that closed down in 2016.[61] The team's driver(s), number, crew chief and sponsor(s) have all yet to be announced.
  • On December 1, 2021, Hattori Racing Enterprises announced that they would expand to a two-truck operation in 2022, with the No. 61, driven by Chase Purdy, as its new second full-time truck.[62]
  • On December 2, 2021, David Gilliland revealed in an interview with Dustin Albino from Jayski that his David Gilliland Racing team would field three full-time trucks in 2022. The No. 17, which was previously a part-time truck, will now be fielded full-time with Taylor Gray continuing to drive part-time along with other drivers sharing the ride with him.[18]
  • On December 6, 2021, Hill Motorsports announced that they would expand to a two-truck operation in 2022. The second truck will be fielded full-time with multiple drivers sharing the ride. The drivers, the number and the crew chief of the second truck have not been announced yet.[63]
  • On December 7, 2021, it was announced that GMS Racing would be downsizing from 5 full-time trucks to 2 in 2022 as a result of the team expanding into the Cup Series through their acquisition of the majority of Richard Petty Motorsports. The trucks that were closed down are the Nos. 2, 21 and 26. The drivers of those trucks in 2021 (Sheldon Creed, Zane Smith and Tyler Ankrum, respectively) all left the team. The team intends to sell the 2021 owner points from those teams to GMS-affiliated teams, as NASCAR's owner points policies are used for the first three races of 2022 and will be used for financial bonuses under NASCAR's bonus money policies. Those teams that acquire the points will be announced before Daytona.[64]
  • On December 23, 2021, CR7 Motorsports announced that their No. 9 truck would run the full season with Blaine Perkins driving. Although the No. 9 truck ran almost all the races in 2020 and 2021, 2022 will mark the first season it has been fielded full-time.[1] On February 10, CR7 announced that they would field a second truck, the No. 97, part-time in 2022 with their ARCA driver Jason Kitzmiller attempting to qualify for the season-opener at Daytona.[42]
  • On March 22, 2022, AM Racing confirmed that it will field a second part-time truck, the No. 37, starting at COTA. The truck will be driven by Logan Bearden, with Bearden Automotive as the primary sponsor.[41]

Drivers[]

  • On July 16, 2021, 2020 Truck Series champion Sheldon Creed stated in an interview that he would like to move up to the Xfinity Series full-time in 2022.[67] He has driven full-time for GMS Racing in the No. 2 full-time since 2019. On September 14, it was announced that Creed would drive full-time for Richard Childress Racing in the Xfinity Series in 2022.[68]
  • On August 26, 2021, it was announced that Jack Wood, who drove most of the season in the GMS Racing No. 24 truck in 2021 after the team released Raphaël Lessard during the season due to lack of funding, would return to the team in 2022 to run full-time in the No. 24 truck.[4]
  • On September 2, 2021, Jerry Freeze, the general manager of Front Row Motorsports, stated in an interview with Dave Moody on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that the team was considering starting an Xfinity Series team in 2022 and if they do so, Todd Gilliland, FRM's Truck Series driver, could move up to that series and drive that car full-time. Anthony Alfredo, one of FRM's Cup Series drivers who was rumored to lose his Cup Series ride as a result of FRM being rumored to close down his No. 38 car and sell the car's charter to 23XI Racing (which fell through), was rumored as Gilliland's replacement in the FRM No. 38 truck or for the FRM Xfinity Series car with Gilliland remaining in the Truck Series.[69] However, the team confirmed on November 9 that Alfredo would not be driving for them in 2022 regardless of series.[70] On November 30, FRM announced that Gilliland would move up to the Cup Series for the team in their No. 38 car while Zane Smith would leave GMS Racing to replace Gilliland in the No. 38 truck in 2022.[23]
  • On September 18, 2021, Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of series title sponsor Camping World, tweeted that he would like to see two-time Truck Series champion and NASCAR on Fox analyst Todd Bodine return to the series to run six races in order to reach 800 starts in NASCAR's top three series. If 800 fans tweeted their approval, Lemonis and Camping World would sponsor him in these six races.[71] The goal was reached on October 1, making the deal official. On December 13, it was announced that Bodine would run his six races in a second truck for Stewart Friesen's Halmar Friesen Racing team.[54] The team fielded a second truck, the No. 62, for Stewart's wife Jessica Friesen in the two dirt races in 2021. On February 16, Bodine revealed in a tweet that the No. 62 will also be his number.[72]
  • On October 1, 2021, GMS Racing announced that Grant Enfinger would drive their No. 23 truck full-time in 2022 and 2023, replacing Chase Purdy.

He also drove part-time for GMS in the Truck Series in 2016 where he won at Talladega.[2] Enfinger drove the No. 98 for ThorSport Racing full-time from 2017 to 2020 and part-time in that truck and the No. 9 for CR7 Motorsports in 2021.

  • On October 2, 2021, the MAVTV broadcasters calling the ARCA Menards Series race at Salem mentioned that Corey Heim would run full-time in the Truck Series in 2022 although Heim's 2022 plans had yet to be announced.[75] On December 21, it was announced that Heim would run the majority of the season (15 races) in the No. 51 for Kyle Busch Motorsports. He drove full-time in the main ARCA Series for Venturini Motorsports and part-time in the Truck Series (3 races) for KBM in 2021.[31]
