The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin this weekend for the third road course race of the 2022 season after the Ally 400 thriller.
Kwik Trip 250 is the 18th NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held next weekend at Road America in Wisconsin. The race will begin at 3:00 pm EST and will air on NBC and MRN.
Kwik Trip 250 will be contested over 62 laps on the 4.048-mile-long road course. The race marks the second trip to the Cup Series hosted by Road America in the series’ history.
The venue hosted its first Cup Series race in 1956, with Tim Flock taking the win. It did not return to the schedule until 2021 as part of Independence Day weekend.
The venue features 14 turns with a total distance of about 250 miles done in 62 laps for the race.
Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share the list of drivers taking part in the Kwik Trip 250.
Four open cars will take to the starting grid for this week’s NASCAR Cup Series race: #16 Kaulig Racing’s A. J. Allmendinger, #77 Spire Motorsports’ Josh Bilicki, and #15 Rick Ware Racing’s Joey Hand return after racing at Sonoma Raceway. #27 Team Hezeburg‘s Loris Hezemans and Kyle Tilley are set to make their Cup Series debut, driving the #78 for Live Fast Motorsports.
