The 2022 ARCA Menards Series schedule contains 20 races at 19 different racetracks, the series announced its schedule reveal on NASCAR Race Hub on Fox Sports 1 on Oct. 28.
The series will again begin its season at Daytona International Speedway in a doubleheader with the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Kansas Speedway will no longer host the season finale, though ARCA drivers will compete there again twice next year. Toledo Speedway, ARCA’s home track owned by series President Ron Drager, will be the site for the season finale.
Returning to the schedule after a one-year absence is Lucas Oil Raceway. That track will host ARCA in a Friday doubleheader with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The Xfinity Series and NASCAR Cup Series will race at nearby Indianapolis Motor Speedway the next two days, respectively.
With the addition of Lucas Oil, Winchester Speedway will not host an ARCA event. Winchester has hosted ARCA 26 times, with Ty Gibbs winning back-to-back races in 2020 and 2021.
The ARCA Menards Series Sioux Chief Showdown, a 10-race championship within the main ARCA series, schedule has not yet been announced. Gibbs won that title this year in addition to the overall championship.
The schedules for the ARCA Menards Series East and West will be announced at a later date. There were four combination races between ARCA and its East and West series this year. Only Phoenix Raceway has announced its race date will be a combination race between ARCA and its West series.
Start times and TV coverage information will be provided at a later date as well.

Why no Winchester Speedway?
I just saw this comment so I apologize for not answering sooner. According to ARCA PR director Charlie Krall, the track was unable to agree on a race date with ARCA.
