Aric Almirola

The scoop: Almirola is not changing rides -- he will be back in the No. 10 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford for a fifth consecutive season. However, he announced prior to the start of the season that he will be retiring at the end of the 2022 campaign. He enters the season with three Cup wins -- the most recent of which came at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2021.

He will drive the No. 44 Grambling State University/HBCU League Pass Plus Chevrolet.

Harrison Burton

 New ride: No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 Old ride: No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

The scoop: Burton is making the move up to Cup for 2022 and will compete for Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors in the famed No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford. Perhaps, Burton will be the driver to produce the team’s landmark 100th win. In two full seasons with Joe Gibbs Racing, Burton nabbed four Xfinity wins.

Kurt Busch 

New ride: No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 Old ride: No. 1 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 The scoop: The 2004 champion will join 23XI Racing as the organization expands to two cars in its second Cup season with Busch and Bubba Wallace behind the wheel. Busch gives the team an instant playoff contender and a driver who has wins in 19 of his 22 full-time seasons. His win at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2021 marked his 33rd at the premier series level. Much like he did with Ross Chastain, Busch should provide a solid veteran mentor for Wallace as well.

Ross Chastain 

New ride: No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Team Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 Old ride: No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 The scoop: Chastain will slide over to join Trackhouse after the sale of Chip Ganassi Racing to the Justin Marks-Pitbull co-owned organization. The 2021 season marked Chastain’s lone Cup season with Ganassi, but he impressed with his strong road-course efforts and a runner-up finish at Nashville Superspeedway. He consistently improved over the second half of the season and should be in the mix for a playoff berth in 2022.

Austin Cindric

New ride: No. 2 Team Penske Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 Old ride: No. 22 Team Penske Ford in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

 The scoop: The 2020 Xfinity champion is moving up to Cup in 2022 but not in the ride he was initially announced to do so in. Instead of joining the Wood Brothers as announced in 2021, he will stay at Team Penske and pilot the No. 2 Ford, replacing Brad Keselowski. Cindric has gotten his feet wet at the Cup level in 2021 and has 13 Xfinity wins to his name. He’ll be the favorite for Sunoco Rookie honors in 2022.

He ran four full-time Cup seasons with Germain Racing from 2017-20 with two top fives and six top 10s.

Todd Gilliland

New ride: No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Old ride: No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

The scoop: Gilliland is moving up to the Cup ranks with Front Row Motorsports. He drove for Front Row’s Truck operation the last two seasons — making the playoffs in both — but has yet to make a start above Truck level. The 21-year-old will compete for Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors and marks the fourth freshman driver to drive for Front Row in four years.

Justin Haley 

New ride: No. 31 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 Old ride: No. 11 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series .

Brad Keselowski

 New ride: No. 6 RFK Racing Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 Old ride: No. 2 Team Penske Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series .

The scoop: Keselowski is taking on a driver-owner role starting with the 2022 season at what is now known as RFK Racing. The move makes him the latest driver to own a piece of a Cup operation while still driving. The move also brings to a close his tenure at Team Penske – where he won 34 Cup races and the 2012 championship.

Ryan Newman 

New ride: TBD

 Old ride: No. 6 RFK Racing Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 The scoop: Newman has been a full-time Cup driver for 20 years, but at the moment, he has nothing lined up for 2022. The 18-time Cup winner has driven for Penske, SHR, RCR and Roush. He has indicated he’d be open to a part-time deal and the possibility exists that Roush could field a third car on a limited basis with him as the driver.

Sean Gardner | Getty Images

Ryan Preece 

New ride: Reserve driver for Stewart-Haas Racing.

Old ride: No. 37 JTG Daugherty Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 The scoop: Preece is the odd driver out after three seasons with JTG cutting back to one car. SHR has inked him to a deal that makes him the reserve driver and he can step in should any SHR driver be sidelined. He will also make a handful of starts across all three national series with Cup starts coming with Rick Ware Racing. Of note, his seven Truck starts will come with David Gilliland Racing -- the team he won with last year in Nashville.

He’ll look to continue the team and Wallace’s momentum from its late season runs together as the organization looks to reach the playoffs in Year 2.

Old gig: Crew chief for the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

The scoop: After three seasons and a 2021 Daytona 500 win with Michael McDowell, Blickensderfer is on the move to lead Aric Almirola and the No. 10 team. The pairing is a reunion as they were paired together for 35 races in 2016-17 at Richard Petty Motorsports. Almirola has made the playoffs all four years at SHR so that is the expectation in 2022.

16 of 85

GMS Racing

Jerame Donley 

New gig: Crew chief for the No. 94 Petty GMS Motorsports Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series.  

Old gig: Engineer for the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Guiding Jones to a better season than his 2021 one (24th in standings, six top 10s) will be Elenz’s primary task.

Scott Graves 

New gig: Crew chief for the No. 17 RFK Racing Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 Old gig: Crew chief for the No. 6 RFK Racing Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 The scoop: Graves shifted over to the No. 17 team for the final five races of the 2021 season. Moving over to the second Roush car reteams Graves with Chris Buescher, who he won the 2015 Xfinity title with. In their five races together to close out 2021, Buescher had a top five and two top 10s. He should have Buescher at least on the fridges of a playoff spot on points.

He’ll be guiding the new team at 23XI as the second-year organization moves to two cars and look to extend Busch’s playoff appearance streak to 10 years.

Next Gen car 

The scoop: For 2022, Cup will feature a new car called the Next Gen. The car has a more of a look and feel of the manufacturer’s respective street cars (Chevy ZL1, Ford Mustang, Toyota Camry). The car will have a body that is fully symmetrical to reduce aerodynamic forces and put an emphasis back on race-car setup and driver control. The new composite material of the car is more durable and will allow more beating and banging without loss of performance. The wheels on the car are 18-inch forged aluminum wheels and wider Goodyear tires will allow for softer tire compounds.

Revised penalty system

The scoop: NASCAR officials released a more stringent penalty structure for the 2022 Cup Series season. The three-tiered system -- from L1 to L3 -- was put in place before the debut of the Next Gen car model, which hits the track in season-opening events next month.

The structure reserves its harshest L3 penalty options for the tampering and counterfeiting of Next Gen single-source vendor parts. Those infractions join testing policy violations with infractions in three significant off-limits areas – engine, tires, fuel – under the L3 umbrella. That heading includes the deduction of Cup Series points, playoff points, crewmember suspensions and postseason bans among the penalty options.

Penalties for lesser violations found in pre-race inspection during a race weekend remain largely intact.

Earnhardt made no secret about trying to have additional opportunities for Berry, and now he has one. Berry should be a lock for the Xfinity playoffs next season.

A longtime competitor of the Cup and Xfinity ranks, Cassill essentially ran a full slate with JD Motorsports in 2021. Jason Trinchere will sit atop the box for Cassill after a previous stint with AJ Allmendinger.

Camping World Truck Series body updates

The scoop: The sanctioning body will permit Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota to update their truck noses and tails to better match production trucks for consumers, while adding more identity from the front fascia (nose of the truck) to the A-post. Previously, the lower fascia was common on all three truck models. Now, it has been opened for the manufacturers to better replicate the looks of the Silverado, F-150 and Tundra.
