The 26-year-old secured his fifth win of the season after beating Ryan Blaney in the closing laps of the 500-mile-long race. This victory locks Elliott into the Round of 8 and he becomes the first playoff driver to win a race in the 2022 playoffs. Earlier, the first four races were won by non-playoff drivers in a chaotic start to the post-season. Chase Elliott emerged victorious when he made his move from the bottom lane to the top lane with two laps to go and got a massive push from behind by Erik Jones on the final lap. The momentum was enough to hold off race leader Blaney to the finish line with skillful drives to take his record fifth win of the season.
