The 2022 Kansas Lottery 300 was the 25th stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series and the 22nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, September 10, 2022, in Kansas City, Kansas at Kansas Speedway, a 1.500 miles (2.414 km) permanent paved oval-shaped racetrack. The race was decreased from 200 laps to 93 laps, due to inclement weather. Noah Gragson, driving for JR Motorsports, took advantage of the lead on the final restart, and held off his teammate, Justin Allgaier, for his 10th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, along with his fifth of the season.[1] Ty Gibbs would mostly dominate the race, leading 66 laps. To fill out the podium, Gibbs, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would finish 3rd, respectively.
