The All-Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC) will run a 56-race schedule across 11 states that also features a 35 percent increase in the season-ending prize fund in 2022. The winner of the championship will be presented with a record $80,000 check, which is $15,000 more than 2021. Second-place will pay $60,000.
“We’re really excited to get the schedule released so that our teams and fans can begin making their 2022 plans,” said Tony Stewart, owner of the All-Stars series in a release. “To be able to expand the points fund next year is something that I am absolutely thrilled about.
“We wouldn’t be able to do this without the extended support from our tracks and partners. ... It is humbling to see the continued interest from tracks that continue to grow our events, and partners that want to utilize our platform to promote their brands. This growth can be attributed to the team owners and drivers that support our series; we wouldn’t be in this position without them all.”
The race action begins in less than three months with a set of six non-points races in Georgia and Florida in early to mid-February.
It will conclude the weekend of October 7-8 with a two-night stand at Fremont (Ohio) Speedway.
The first points’ paying races will begin with a two-night show at Attica (Ohio) Raceway Park in April, which bookends the series in the Midwest.

Highlighting the schedule will be several lucrative events including the $55,000-to-win Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway as well as the $29,000-to-win Bob Weikert Memorial on that same track, the $26,000-to-win Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race, which moves to I-70 Motorsports Park in Odessa, Mo. for 2022 and the $20,554-to-win Dean Knittel Memorial at Portsmouth (Ohio) Raceway Park
New dates on the 2022 All Star campaign trail include Sharon Speedway’s Sharon Nationals, an $18,000-to-win weekend which is set on Friday and Saturday, September 2-3, a pair of $12,000-to-win visits to Ransomville (N.Y.) Speedway in Ransomville and Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, New Jersey and Atomic Speedway’s Freedom 40 awarding $15,000-to-win.
“Fans will continue to see all of our staple events in 2022,” said Stewart. “It’s also important to continue to evaluate new opportunities and expand to new markets or revisit tracks that we don’t necessarily get to race at every year.”
