Nemechek, who won the pole earlier in the day, clearly had one of the fastest trucks but he was forced to pit a second time under caution early in Stage 2 for a loose wheel.
By the end of the stage he had worked his back up front but then made contact with Christian Eckes on pit during the caution prior to Stage 3.
Nemechek passed both Eckes and Grant Enfinger and grabbed the lead for the final time on Lap 123 and held off Carson Hocevar in a two-lap overtime to secure his first victory of the 2022 season.
The win is the 12th of his career and sixth since joining Kyle Busch Motorsports at the start of the 2021 season.
“Huge shout out to all the guys that work on this No. 4 Toyota, just everyone that puts their heart and soul into it,” Nemechek said. “It’s huge. I thought we gave it away early, honestly, but we were able to battle back.
“It’s cool. I learned a lot tonight and was finally able to bring home the first win of the year. It’s been a little bit coming after the start of the year. Thankful for the opportunity from Kyle (Busch) and TRD for putting me in this.”
Enfinger ended up third, Ty Majeski – who escaped a late-race penalty for driving over the choose box because NASCAR missed the call – was fourth and Matt Crafton rounded out the top-five.
Completing the top-10 were Parker Kligerman, Ryan Preece, Zane Smith, Tyler Ankrum and Todd Bodine.
