The 2022 TSport 200 was the 17th stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the first race of the Round of 10, and the 18th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, July 29, 2022, in Brownsburg, Indiana at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, a 0.686 miles (1.104 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race was increased from 200 to 207 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In the final laps of the race, Grant Enfinger, driving for GMS Racing, took home the victory, after holding off the rest of the field with 2 laps to go. This was Enfinger's 7th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and his first win since 2020.[1] He would also earn a spot in the next round of the playoffs. John Hunter Nemechek and Ty Majeski mainly dominated the race, leading 75 and 71 laps, respectively. To fill out the podium, Ben Rhodes, driving for ThorSport Racing, and Zane Smith, driving for Front Row Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
This was the debut race for the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series driver, Layne Riggs. Riggs would go on to finish 7th in his first ever start.[2]
