Last year, NASCAR’s Cup Series made history with its first dirt race in 51 years. Now due to popular demand, it’s back for 2022 as the Food City Dirt Race goes off again at Tennessee’s Bristol Motor Speedway.

Joey Logano also made history of his own here a year ago on the .533-mile course, holding off a determined charge by Denny Hamlin over the final 61 laps to become the first winner of a NASCAR Cup dirt race since Richard Petty won at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh on Sept. 30, 1970.

Afterward, Logano was ecstatic. “Man, it’s incredible,” he said. “How about Bristol on dirt? This is an incredible, unbelievable race track.”

Fans also loved it but the event didn’t come without problems. Rain made the clay surface too sticky to race thus forcing it to be postponed from Sunday to Monday. Then later when the track dried in the afternoon sun, conditions became dusty.

Logano and other drivers complained about poor visibility during the race, as did fans, so the start time of this year’s race was moved to 7 p.m. ET in the hopes that the diminished wind will keep the dust down and make it easier for everyone to see.

Meanwhile, Logano hopes to build on his solid start to 2022, one that has him near the top of the Cup standings despite not having recorded a victory (as of late March).

He’ll go for the win Sunday, April 17, at Bristol when he tangles with the likes of Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. in the second Food City Dirt Race, airing on Fox.
