2022 NASCAR at Texas – Start time, how to watch, entry list & more

It was a clean win for non-playoff drivers in the round of 16. Chris Buescher ended a six-year winning streak and brought RFK Racing back to Victory Lane in Bristol.

He became the 19th different winner of the 2022 season.

In a frantic race of attrition, four drivers were eliminated from the playoffs. They were former Cup champions Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, and Richard Childress Racing’s Tyler Reddick and Austin Dillon.
