There’s a lot of new things in 2022, including the NASCAR Cup Series’ Next Gen car. But one feature that returns this season is the annual Darlington Raceway throwback paint schemes from Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series teams.

If a driver isn’t listed, the team hasn’t announced a throwback or it opted not to participate in this year’s throwback theme.
