2022 Copa Truck season

The 2022 Brazilian Truck Cup Championship is the sixth season of the Truck Cup. Defending Champion André Marques sat out half the season and couldn't repeat. So, Wellington Cirino onboard a Mercedes-Benz from ASG Motorsport became the 2022 Copa Truck Champion, after narrowly beating out all other former Copa Truck Champions at the top of the standings. Danilo Alamini edged out the prior Super Class Champion for his title in the 2022 season.

The category's origins came after nine teams left Formula Truck due to disagreements with the problematic management of Neusa Navarro Félix. These teams joined together in an association to create the category that replaced Formula Truck. The new category brings together teams and drivers from the old category.

In November 2017, it was approved by the Brazilian Automobile Confederation (CBA) and recognized as an official championship. Carlos Col, former head of the Stock Car Pro Series, is its promoter.

The Truck Cup was officially launched on April 27, 2017, in São Paulo. In the first season, the championship was divided into three regional cups: Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast. The first stage took place on May 28, in Goiânia, with 17 trucks on the grid.

The association is made up of the following teams: RM Competições, AJ5 Sports, DF Motorsport, RVR Motorsports, Dakar Motors, Fábio Fogaça Motorsports, Lucar Motorsports and Clay Truck Racing.
