- Leading the train of drivers without a win is Ryan Blaney, who posted his eighth top-five run of the season and 11th in the top-10. Blaney will need every point he can muster, as he hopes for a win himself or to remain the highest guy in points without a win. Three races remain before the playoffs.

- Ty Gibbs scored his fifth win of the 2022 season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Michigan International Speedway. Gibbs has nine wins in 39 starts. Imagine the number he could post after his first full season in the series.
