The 2022 ARCA Menards Series West was the 69th season of the ARCA Menards Series West, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season began on March 11 at Phoenix Raceway with the General Tire 150 and ended with the Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 100, also at Phoenix Raceway, on November 4.
Jesse Love, who won the championship for the last 2 years, did not go for a three-peat. Love revealed in an interview in October 2021 with Frontstretch that he would not return to the West Series full-time in 2022[1] and he ran the majority of the main ARCA Series season for Venturini Motorsports. He had driven for the team part-time in that series in 2020 and 2021.[2]
This season also saw a historic milestone, as the race at Evergreen Speedway on August 20 marked the 1,000th West Series race.[3]
