Top 10 Best Moments of the 2022
NASCAR Cup Season (Part 1)
By Alex Korowotny
Racing Sports
Correspondent
The 2022 NASCAR Cup
season was full of many
memorable moments, and
today, we are going to count
down the Top 10 best mo
ments of the year. Well, only
10 to 6. Before we start with
the list, let’s give some hon
orable mentions.
Honorable Mentions: Lar
son and Elliott conflict with
Larson accidently putting El
liott in the wall while battling
for the win at Auto Club and
then Larson moving Elliott
out of the way to win
Watkins Glen, Hamlin vs.
Byron at Texas (late in the
race, Hamlin accidently ran
Byron into the wall while
battling for 2nd and Byron
retaliated by dumping Ham
lin when the next caution
came out), Harvick breaking
his long winless streak at
Michigan, Logano bumping
Byron into the wall for the
win at Darlington with 2 to
go, and RFK’s first Cup win
at Bristol.
10. Bell winning his way
into the Round of 8 and the
Championship 4 - Why this
is memorable and worthy of
a top 10 spot is because not
only was Bell able to win his
way into the next round
twice, including the champi
onship 4, but these were
memorable moments by Bell.
Going into the last race of the
Round of 12 at the Charlotte
Roval and the last race of the
Round of 8 at Martinsville,
Bell was over 30 points
below the top 8 and top 4.
The chances for Bell to point
his way in were very slim, so
him being able to win his
way in the Round of 8 and
Championship 4 to have a
shot at the championship is
an amazing achievement and
worthy of number 10.
9. Reddick and Briscoe
wreck on the final lap while
battling for the win at Bristol
Dirt - on the final lap, Red
dick was leading and Briscoe
was right behind him in 2nd.
At this time, Reddick had not
won a Cup race yet in his ca
reer and he looked like he
was going to hold off Briscoe
to win his first Cup race.
Until Briscoe sent it in the
last couple of comers and
took him and Reddick out.
This also caused Kyle Busch
to win the race. So yeah, two
drivers wreck while battling
for the win, one of them is
trying to win their first Cup
race, and they both end up
losing. Very memorable and
worthy of a top 10 spot
8. Bubba Wallace and Kyle
Larson tangle - Bubba
dumped Larson by hooking
him in the right rear at very
high speeds and all for Lar
son accidently causing
Bubba to hit the wall. Bubba
then went over to Larson and
started shoving him aggres
sively in the infield grass.
This moment was really a
terrible moment objectively
speaking. Retaliation and
then a fight afterwards is al
ways exciting and memo
rable, so on that aspect, this
was a really great moment
7. Daniel Suarez wins
Sonoma - not only was this
another first-time winner mo
ment, but what makes this
moment really special is that
Suarez is a driver from Mex
ico and he was the first Mex
ican-born driver in the
history of NASCAR to win a
NASCAR race. A driver get
ting his first Cup win is a big
accomplishment, but when
it’s from a driver that’s from
a different country, it makes
the moment even more spe
cial
6. Erik Jones wins Darling
ton - why this seemingly
normal victory is one of the
best moments of the year is
because Jones’s car number
(43) is the car of the most
successful driver in
NASCAR history, Richard
Petty. This was also the 200th
career win for the famous 43
car as well. Darlington is also
a very famous track in
NASCAR known for being
“too tough to tame,” provid
ing very memorable finishes
like 2003 with Ricky Craven
and Kurt Busch, and hosting
throwback weekend. So not
only was this win a very big
milestone, but it also hap
pened at perhaps the best
track for it to happen.
Get ready for next week
when we list the Top 5 best
moments of the year.

Nettes Report
Continued From 1B
from Lumpkin drew close to
even by halftime with the
Nettes holding a slim 26-25
lead. The lead swapped in the
3rd quarter when Pickens
found themselves down five,
but like Lumpkin, they
pushed it back to even by the
end of the 3rd quarter at 42
all. The Lady Indians would
benefit from a small run in
the 4th that got them a seven
point lead and this time the
Nettes could not fully close
the gap.
The loss was the Nettes
first on the season and they
took their 9-1 record to Pope
High School the next morn
ing for a holiday tournament.
Pickens dismantled Kenne-
saw Mountain 62-17, ad
vancing to the tournament
semifinals, where they
squared off with Cambridge
out of Cobb County. The
Lady Bears played close to
the Nettes in the first half,
trailing 22-24, but Pickens
came alive with a 23-9 third
quarter and put the Lady
Bears away. The final would
be 62-41 and would advance
the Nettes into the tourna
ment championship versus a
10-2 team from the host
school, Pope.
The Dragonettes will
wrap up 2022 with a chance
to earn the big trophy on the
host team’s court.
2023 action will begin
back in Jasper as the Lady
Bruins from Northwest Whit-
feld will come to town to ring
in the new year and to try and
avenge a previous 57-44 loss
to Pickens earlier in the sea
son.
