The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Ridgeway, Virginia this weekend for Xfinity 500, which will be held at Martinsville Speedway. The green flag will drop at 2:00 pm ET on Sunday, October 30th, 2022, and the event will be telecast live on NBC and MRN.

Sunday’s race will consist of 36 drivers who will compete for over 500 laps on the 0.526-mile-long paper-clip-shaped track, resulting in a 263-mile race. It is one of the shortest tracks in the 2022 schedule, which features a total of four turns, with 12 degrees of banking in the turns and zero degrees of banking in straights. Xfinity 500 will mark the elimination race of the Round of 8 to find out who will clinch a Championship 4 spot in the 2022 playoffs.
Alex Bowman, the driver of the #48 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports, won last year’s Xfinity 500.
Drivers who are on the hunt for the 2022 championship include Chase Briscoe, William Byron, Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, and Christopher Bell. Meanwhile, Hamlin, Blaney, Bell, and Briscoe are below the elimination line ahead of Sunday’s race.
