The race was held on Saturday, July 2, 2022, inElkhart Lake, Wisconsin atRoad America, a 4.048 miles (6.515 km) permanent road course.

The race was marred by a crash on lap 25. With 20 laps to go in the race, tempers began to flare betweenNoah Gragson andSage Karam, after having a full-contact battle for the 10th-place position. Gragson showed his displeasure by giving Karam themiddle finger after exiting turn 1. After the contact continued, Gragson became frustrated, and made a right turn into the side of Karam, spinning them both in front of the pack. After dust was kicked up from the spin, the field behind them was blind, causing confusion for the drivers. 16 cars would be collected in the wreck, with some drivers having brutal hits. The worst hit wasBrandon Brown, after slamming into the side ofTyler Reddick at a high force. Brown got out of his car under his own power, but immediately went over to the right side of the wall and sat down in pain.^[2] Three days after the race, Gragson was finedUS$35,000 and docked 30 driver and owner points.^[3]
