It’s been a wild 2022 for the NASCAR Cup series, and it’s only the middle of May!

From Joey Logano’s historic win at the (very, very cramped) Coliseum in Los Angeles, to Austin Cindric’s stunning Daytona 500 victory, to a really cool dirt track race at Bristol Motor Speedway, there have been so many great moments.

Here’s a look at some of our favorite images from the season so far, with a couple of photos from the Xfinity and Camping World Trucks series thrown in for good measure (because they were just great photos!)

And if you haven’t already entered our NASCAR Life in the Fast Lane contest, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Go enter here, and you could be headed to Darlington for a race!
