The first time cars hit the tracks in 2022 came at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in the Busch Light Clash in an exhibition race. But Sunday, engines will be fired on the new campaign at the Daytona International Speedway in the Dayton 500.
Michael McDowell began the 2021 season with a win in the Daytona 500 last year, while Denny Hamlin picked up wins in both 2019 and 2020 for his second and third wins on the track.
