In late October I made an inquiry as to their plans and this was the response:

"Thank you for contacting Chicagoland Speedway/Route 66 Raceway. At this time we don’t have any announcements on Route 66 events for 2022, but that we hope to have more information soon"

So there's hope

Will Sonoma get a divisional race? Usually already scheduled. Would be nice to hear from NHRA or even someone from Sonoma Raceway.

Division 7 is not looking very healthy for 2022.

The eight hours to Joliet or Norwalk is better than what D5-D6-D7 racers face plus none of the big mountain passes! Doubles make a lot of sense for those folks but still a big time commitment.

Bakersfields is a happy surprise to me. Last time we had a NHRA divisional was somewhere around 1994. The double headers sure saves a lot of money. I can see a real good car count coming there.
The new schedule is nice from my home here in Las Vegas now.
