Next up is the Streets of Belle Isle on 5 June, where now the famed Dual in Detroit is is down to one race, before heading to Road America on 12 June.
After a break, the series returns for a five-race month of July. On 3 July at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course also back down to one race. The Streets of Toronto make their return after two years of COVID-19 cancellations on 17 July, as does Iowa Speedway for a doubleheader on 23-24 July. Rounding out a grueling month is a second race at the IMS Road Course that will create a doubleheader with NASCAR.
The Nashville Street Circuit returns for its second-ever race on 7 August, followed by a trip to World Wide Technology Raceway on 20 August for the final oval race of the season.
September will see the crowning of a series champion, but not before two races on the west coast starting with Portland International Raceway on 04 September and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on 11 September returning as the season finale.
All but three of the races on the calendar are set to be shown on network television in the United States via NBC, an increase from the 2021 season. With returning circuits across the calendar, the 2022 season looks to be as exciting as ever.
