It was a clean sweep for non-playoff drivers in the Round of 16. Chris Buescher snapped a six-year winless streak and returned RFK Racing to Victory Lane at Bristol.
He became the 19th different winner of the 2022 season.
In a hectic race of attrition, four drivers were eliminated from the playoffs. They were former Cup champions Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, as well as Richard Childress Racing’s Tyler Reddick and Austin Dillon.
