All six races were broadcast live in the United States on CBS and Paramount+.

Allen Bestwick returned as the play-by-play announcer, Lindsay Czarniak returned as the host, and Matt Yocum returned as a pit reporter. After competing in the series as a driver in 2021, Willy T. Ribbs joined the SRX broadcast team in 2022 as the roving reporter, replacing Brad Daugherty. However, for the races at Stafford and I-55, Ribbs was instead a color commentator. As was the case in 2021, there was a rotating color commentator in the booth with Bestwick, with Ribbs at Stafford and I–55{{cite web |first=Dalton |last=Hopkins |url=https://www.frontstretch.com/2022/04/26/willy-t-ribbs-conor-daly-join-srx-broadcast/ |title=Willy T.

Season summary

=Race reports=

All events consist of two heat races, with the lineup for Heat 1 being determined by a random draw. The results of Heat 1 are inverted to determine the lineup for Heat 2.{{Cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/racing/story/_/id/29454810/tony-stewart-ray-evernham-team-recreate-iroc-srx-all-stars |title=Stewart, Evernham to re-create IROC as SRX |work=ESPN |date=July 13, 2020 |access-date=March 3, 2022}}{{cite web |url=https://racer.com/2021/05/06/srx-reveals-race-format/ |title=SRX reveals race format |website=Racer |publisher=WordPress |date=May 6, 2021}} The average finish of both heats is used to determine the lineup for the feature race.

The heat races are 12 minutes each in length. At Five Flags, the feature length was 75 laps with the final 10 laps having to be run under green flag conditions.

=Five Flags Speedway=

Prior to the event, Hélio Castroneves was announced as a last minute entrant after not being originally scheduled to compete.{{Cite web |first=Joseph |last=Srigley |url=https://tobychristie.com/2022/06/19/helio-castroneves-makes-last-minute-entry-wins-srx-opener-at-five-flags-speedway/ |title=Helio Castroneves Makes Last-Minute Entry, Wins SRX Opener at Five Flags Speedway |work=TobyChristie.com |date=June 19, 2022 |access-date=June 20, 2022}} Bubba Pollard was awarded pole for Heat 1 based on a random draw. Paul Tracy snatched the lead at the start until Pollard retook it with slightly over eight minutes remaining. With under a minute left, Castroneves spun Ernie Francis Jr. while making a pass attempt but the race stayed green. Pollard proceeded to hold off Tony Kanaan to win the heat. Francis was the polesitter for Heat 2 because of the inversion, however the damage he sustained in the previous heat caused him to drop backwards immediately and forced him into a backup car for the feature. Second place starter Castroneves would win after leading the entire heat.

Due to their successful heat performances, Pollard and Kanaan would bring the field to green for the feature, with Pollard gaining the initial advantage and leading until being passed on lap 7 by Ryan Newman. Pollard retook the lead on lap 12, however it would be short lived as Kanaan surpassed him for first on lap 17. Under the first fun flag caution on lap 21, Pollard was forced to pit due to a flat left rear tire, relegating him to the rear of the field from third position. Kanaan would maintain the lead on the restart and held it after the second fun flag yellow on lap 38. When the feature restarted after the final fun flag with 15 laps remaining, Kanaan and Castroneves would remain side by side for multiple laps before Castroneves eventually prevailed. Castroneves finished first, with Pollard moving Newman for second position on the last lap. In a post race interview, it was revealed that SRX chief executive Don Hawk promised Castroneves a NASCAR ride at Daytona if he won an event.
