A pre-season invitational non-points event was scheduled to be held on 24–27 March at Road Atlanta.
[19] After a round in Canada was attempted to be held for the last two years, but was cancelled both times, the 2022 schedule once again only consisted of races inside the US.
[20] The championship began in early April at NOLA Motorsports Park with Raoul Hyman topping the qualifying session on his return to single seater racing.
This promoted Tavella into second place, and Ryan Yardley completed the podium after battling past Alder and Clark.
Hyman then spun with two laps to go, gifting Alder the win but still finishing second ahead of Tavella.
Hyman's strong weekend saw him pick up the championship lead, 23 points ahead of his nearest challenger Tavella.
[22] Next up was Lexington's Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, and Hyman continued his pole position streak.
Race two saw a similar domination by Hyman, this time against Clark in second with Persing gaining to positions to finish third.
[23] Teams and drivers then headed to New Jersey Motorsports Park, where qualifying was once again topped by Hyman.
Tavella started race three from pole, and fought Hyman off in a close battle that lasted until the final lap, as the pair crossed the line 0.089s apart.
[24] The penultimate round of the season at Virginia International Raceway began with the now familiar sight of Hyman on pole position for race one.
[25] Hyman completed his perfect qualifying record with a sixth pole at Circuit of the Americas, this time by over a second.
The second race saw a similar story in reverse, this time Hyman picked up the lead from Alder at the start, but was later repassed when he had a mechanical issue that forced his retirement.
