The round at Virginia International Raceway was also postponed one week to avoid a clash with the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans.^[2] On April 27, 2022, the SRO announced that Ozarks round was replaced with NOLA Motorsports Park on the same date due to the challenges related with infrastructure and supply chain.^[3]
