The race was held on Friday, September 9, 2022, in Kansas City, Kansas at Kansas Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. In an exciting battle on the final lap, John Hunter Nemechek, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, took over the lead from Carson Hocevar, and earned his 13th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and his second of the season.
