The 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series was the 28th season of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, a Pickup truck racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season started with the NextEra Energy 250 on February 18 at Daytona International Speedway, and concluded with the Lucas Oil 150 on November 4 at Phoenix Raceway.
This was the final season of the Truck Series with Camping World as the title sponsor, as CEO Marcus Lemonis announced the brand would not return for the 2023 season. On August 26, 2022, it was announced that Craftsman would return as the Truck Series title sponsor, although the tool company is now owned by Stanley Black & Decker instead of Sears, who owned Craftsman when they were the series title sponsor from 1995 to 2008. This makes Stanley Black & Decker the series' third title sponsor. Zane Smith of Front Row Motorsports clinched both the regular season championship and the Camping World Truck Series championship. Toyota won its 13th manufacturers' championship. Corey Heim of Kyle Busch Motorsports won the 2022 Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year honors.

When Poole qualified for the race and Jaskol did not, G2G moved Jaskol back to the No. 46 replacing Poole, which is why both Poole and Jaskol are listed in the No. 46 at Las Vegas (race 2).

Notes
Changes Teams On April 30, 2021, Bill McAnally Racing West Series driver Cole Moore revealed that McAnally–Hilgemann Racing, the Truck Series team Bill McAnally co-owns, may expand to two teams full-time in 2022. On September 9, MHR announced that Colby Howard would drive full-time for the team in 2022 and it would most likely be in the team's new second truck. Howard previously drove the No. 15 for JD Motorsports in the Xfinity Series part-time in 2020 and full-time in 2021 until September, the Truck Series part-time in 2019 and 2021 for Young's Motorsports and CR7 Motorsports respectively, and the ARCA Menards Series in 2018 and 2019 for Mason Mitchell Motorsports and Win-Tron Racing respectively. On May 27, 2021, Tim Viens announced plans to field his own Truck Series team for the 2022 season, G2G Racing, after buying some Toyotas from Kyle Busch Motorsports. On February 3, 2022, the team announced that they would be fielding two full-time trucks, the Nos. 46 and 47. Matt Jaskol, who made his NASCAR debut in 2021 in the Xfinity Series with MBM Motorsports, would make his Truck Series debut and drive the No. 46 full-time while Viens, Johnny Sauter, Roger Reuse and other drivers would share the No. 47. On July 6, 2021, AM Racing team president Kevin Cywinski stated that his team would like to field a second truck (the No. 37) full-time, as it is part of their "long-term strategy". The team has run a second truck twice, the No. 32 at Daytona in 2017 with Austin Wayne Self driving (when J. J. Yeley drove Self's normal No. 22) and the No. 37 at Knoxville in 2021 with Brett Moffitt driving. On March 21, 2022, AM Racing confirmed that it would field a second part-time truck, the No. 37, starting with Logan Bearden in the race at COTA. The truck will be driven by other drivers in other races later in the season. On May 26, it was announced that Max Gutiérrez would drive the truck part-time in a collaboration with Rette Jones Racing starting at Charlotte. On November 23, 2021, Cup Series team Spire Motorsports announced plans to expand to the Truck Series in 2022. At the time, the team had yet to determine if they would field their one truck full-time or part-time and who their driver(s) would be. The team would field the No. 7 truck part-time with Austin Hill driving it at Daytona, Alex Bowman driving it at COTA, and William Byron driving it to the race win at Martinsville. On December 1, 2021, Hattori Racing Enterprises announced that they would expand to a two-truck operation in 2022, with the No. 61, driven by Chase Purdy, as its new second full-time truck. On December 2, 2021, David Gilliland revealed in an interview with Dustin Albino from Jayski that his David Gilliland Racing team would field three full-time trucks in 2022. The No. 17, which was previously a part-time truck, will now be fielded full-time with Taylor Gray continuing to drive part-time along with other drivers sharing the ride with him. On December 6, 2021, Hill Motorsports announced that they would expand to a two-truck operation in 2022. The second truck will be fielded full-time with multiple drivers sharing the ride. The drivers, the number and the crew chief of the second truck have not been announced yet. On December 7, 2021, it was announced that GMS Racing would be downsizing from 5 full-time trucks to 2 in 2022 as a result of the team expanding into the Cup Series through their acquisition of the majority of Richard Petty Motorsports. The trucks that were closed down are the Nos. 2, 21 and 26. The drivers of those trucks in 2021 (Sheldon Creed, Zane Smith and Tyler Ankrum, respectively) all left the team. The team sold the 2021 owner points from those trucks to GMS-affiliated teams, with the Reaume Brothers Racing Nos. 33 and 43 trucks getting the owner points from the GMS Nos. 23 and 24 trucks and the new McAnally–Hilgemann Racing No. 91 truck getting the owner points from the closed GMS No. 26 truck. GMS transferred the owner points from the Nos. 2 and 21 trucks (which were closed down) to their Nos. 23 and 24 trucks. On December 23, 2021, CR7 Motorsports announced that their No. 9 truck would run the full season with Blaine Perkins driving. Although the No. 9 truck ran almost all the races in 2020 and 2021, 2022 will mark the first season it has been fielded full-time. On February 10, CR7 announced that they would field a second truck, the No. 97, part-time in 2022 with their ARCA driver Jason Kitzmiller attempting to qualify for the season-opener at Daytona. On April 15, 2022, NASCAR notified G2G Racing that the chassis for their No. 46 truck for the Bristol dirt race was registered to CMI Motorsports (who G2G had purchased the truck from). As a result, G2G owner Tim Viens had to withdraw the No. 46 truck, which was to be driven by Andrew Gordon, from the race. Viens then phone called CMI owner Ray Ciccarelli who agreed to file a late entry and field the No. 49 truck for Gordon in the race.
Drivers On June 12, 2021, Reaume Brothers Racing stated that Lawless Alan could run a full season for their team in 2022. He drove part-time for RBR and Niece Motorsports in 2021. On November 4, Niece Motorsports announced that Alan would drive the No. 45 full-time in 2022. On July 16, 2021, 2020 Truck Series champion Sheldon Creed stated in an interview that he would like to move up to the Xfinity Series full-time in 2022. He has driven full-time for GMS Racing in the No. 2 full-time since 2019. On September 14, it was announced that Creed would drive full-time for Richard Childress Racing in the Xfinity Series in 2022.
