NASCAR 2022 at Austin: Full weekend schedule for Circuit of the Americas

The first road course action of 2022 is almost here as NASCAR heads to the Circuit of the Americas this weekend for the EchoPark Automotive Texas Grand Prix. The country's premier motorsport venue hosts NASCAR for the second time since its debut on the calendar in 2021.

Expect the race to be a thriller as it is the first time drivers will drive the Next Gen cars door-to-door and bumper-to-bumper on a road course. Expect aggressive moves on track as well as drivers look to make up for the points lost last weekend in Atlanta. A rule change that allows teams free tire choice in changeable conditions can also spice things up if rain decides to fall on race day.
