NASCAR is all set to make it to the Circuit of the Americas this weekend for the first road course race of the 2022 season. The EchoPark Automotive Texas Grand Prix is the sixth race on the calendar, taking place on March 27 at 3:30 pm EST.
The Circuit of the Americas is one of the country's premier racing venues, which hosts all motorsport genres from F1 to MotoGP. The FIA grade-1 track consists of 19 turns with a total length of 3.4 miles. This will be the second year the track hosts a NASCAR race. Chase Elliott claimed victory on the track in 2021 for Hendrick Motorsports.
Notable motorsport journalist Bob Pockrass confirmed 39 Cup Series entries on his Twitter handle, writing:
"39 Cup entries including Lally, Said, Grala and Hezemans."
After last Sunday's tumultuous Folds of Honor QuickTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, many drivers will be looking to score good points at the track in Austin, Texas.
