Description

The 2022 Dead On Tools 250 was the 32nd stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series, the final race of the Round of 8, and the 16th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, October 29, 2022, in Ridgeway, Virginia at Martinsville Speedway, a 0.526 miles (0.847 km) permanent paperclip-shaped short track. The race was increased from 250 laps to 269 laps, due to numerous NASCAR overtime finishes. In a chaotic race that brought several cautions, Ty Gibbs, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would win the race in controversy, after he would bump into his teammate, Brandon Jones, on the final lap, causing him to spin in turn two. Gibbs would dominate for parts of the race as well, leading 102 laps. This was Gibbs' 10th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his sixth of the season. Gibbs would also earn a spot in the championship four, despite already advancing on points. To fill out the podium, Sheldon Creed, driving for Richard Childress Racing, and Riley Herbst, driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Meanwhile, the drivers that will advance into championship four are Justin Allgaier, Josh Berry, Noah Gragson, and Ty Gibbs. A. J. Allmendinger, Austin Hill, Sam Mayer, and Brandon Jones would be eliminated from the playoffs.
