The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 is finally done and dusted after the race was delayed twice by bad weather. The much-awaited race of the season started at 5:11 p.m. ET and lasted for three hours, thirty-five minutes, and fifteen seconds. It took place at the Nashville Superspeedway, with a total of 36 entries.
Driving the #9 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports, Chase Elliott captured his second win of the season. He grabbed the lead on lap 262 of 300 and held off dominant Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr., and Kyle Busch on Sunday. In a race that was filled with delays, Elliott crossed the finish line 0.551 seconds ahead of Kurt Busch to take the checkered flag.
The win marked Elliott’s 15th victory of his NASCAR Cup Series career. He has now won his second race of the season, which makes him the fifth driver this season to win multiple races.
Meanwhile, Kurt Busch finished second, followed by Ryan Blaney. Kyle Larson, who won the inaugural event last year, finished fourth and multiple race winner Ross Chastain completed the top five.
Denny Hamlin, who started the race from pole, led a race-high 114 laps and finished sixth.
