#NASCAR GEICO 500 & YellaWood 500 Return to Traditional Weekends 2022


NASCAR announced the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series schedule that includes Talladega Superspeedway’s  two traditional weekends – the GEICO 500 in April and the YellaWood 500 in October.

 

The 53rd edition of the Talladega springtime classic, GEICO 500, is set for Sunday, April 24, and will be the premier series’ 10th points race of the year. While the 2021 YellaWood 500 is just over two weeks away (on Oct. 3), next year’s fall classic will take place on Sunday, October 2, 2022, and will again be the second race in the Round of 12 of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

 

 

“We are thrilled to have both our GEICO 500 and YellaWood 500 back next year in their traditional spots on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule,” said Talladega Superspeedway President Brian Crichton.” We have fans that come back year after year for race-family reunions and to celebrate both of our NASCAR weekends, and we can’t wait to have them back again in 2022. We look forward to new fans being here and enjoying the greatest entertainment one can imagine, beginning their own race traditions and taking home lifetime memories.”

 

One part of the entertainment that Crichton refers to is the Talladega Garage Experience, which debuted in fall of 2019 to rave reviews. The Talladega Garage Experience gives fans the chance to be immersed into the sport of NASCAR like never before, including being able to be up-close to the NASCAR’s top drivers and teams via a fan walkway under the same roof as the NASCAR Cup Series garage car bays. In addition, there’s the unique 35,000 square foot “Big Bill’s” covered Open Air Social Club, complete with ample seating, a bar and a 41-foot diagonal video screen, the opportunity to be a part of Ruoff Victory Lane, and lots more.

 

Fans wishing to attend the Cup Series races at ’DEGA in 2022 can purchase tickets starting at $75 for adults and $10 for kids 12 and younger. Account holders from 2021 can take advantage of even lower pricing when renewing their tickets & camping.
