2022 NASCAR at Bristol - Start time, how to watch, entry list & more

Kansas was won by yet another non-playoff driver as Bubba Wallace scored his second career NASCAR Cup Series victory. However, that No. 45 car is still in the owner playoffs and with the win, is now locked into the next round. An interesting wrinkle to this year's postseason that will be something to keep an eye.

Christopher Bell locked himself into the Round of 12 via points, but nothing else is guaranteed. Kyle BuschAustin Dillon, Chase Briscoe, and Kevin Harvick. enter Bristol below the cut line.

Off the track, news finally broke of Busch's plans to take over the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, but many details remain unknown. The 2023 schedule for the Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series was also released this week.

How to watch NASCAR at Bristol

  • Race: Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race
  • Date: Saturday, September 17th
  • Start time: 7:30 p.m. ET
  • TV channel: USA | TSN 3/5 (Canada)
  • Live stream: Peacock, fuboTV
  • Radio: PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio

Facing possible elimination, it's the perfect time for Busch to be heading to Bristol. Not only does he lead all active drivers in wins at the iconic short track (eight), but his only victory of the 2022 season came earlier this year on the Bristol dirt. Now back on the concrete, he should be an obvious threat yet again.

Rick Allen leads the NBC Cup Series broadcast team in the booth, where he’s joined by former star racers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Burton. Veteran crew chief Steve Letarte adds his technical knowledge for extra analysis.

NBC will cover all races from now through the playoffs either on the main NBC channel or USA Network.
