The race was held on Saturday, July 9, 2022, inHampton, Georgia atAtlanta Motor Speedway, a 1.54 miles (2.48 km) permanent tri-oval racetrack. The race took its scheduled 163 laps to complete.Austin Hill, driving forRichard Childress Racing, held offJosh Berry on the final few laps, and earned his second careerNASCAR Xfinity Series win, along with his second of the season.

Atlanta Motor Speedway (formerly known asAtlanta International Raceway from 1960 to 1990) is a 1.54-mile entertainment facility inHampton, Georgia, United States, 20 miles (32 km) south ofAtlanta. It has annually hostedNASCAR Cup Series stock car races since its inauguration in 1960.
The venue was bought bySpeedway Motorsports in 1990. In 1994, 46condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two intermediate ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval, with a new official length of 1.54-mile (2.48 km) where before it was 1.522-mile (2.449 km). The project made the track one of the fastest on theNASCAR circuit. In July 2021NASCAR announced that the track would be reprofiled for the 2022 season to have 28 degrees (previously 24 degrees) of banking and would be narrowed from 55 to 40 feet which makes racing at the track similar to restrictor plate superspeedways. Despite the reprofiling being criticized by drivers, construction began in August 2021 and wrapped up in December 2021.[2][3] The track hasseating capacity of 71,000 to 125,000 people depending on the tracks configuration.
Qualifying was scheduled to be held on Saturday, July 9, at 9:30 AMEST.[4] SinceAtlanta Motor Speedway is anoval track, the qualifying system used is a single-car, single-lap system with only one round. Whoever sets the fastest time in the round wins the pole.[5]
Due to inclement weather, qualifying would be cancelled. The starting lineup would be determined by a performance-based metric system. As a result,Ty Gibbs, driving forJoe Gibbs Racing, would take the pole.[6]
