The penultimate race of the 2022 season delivered one of the most iconic moments in NASCAR history. For the second consecutive elimination race, Christopher Bell won in a must-win situation. The victory locked him into the championship race, but that was overshadowed by the move that Ross Chastain pulled on the final lap.

Needing another point to pass Denny Hamlin for the final playoff spot, Chastain rode the outside wall in a desperate slingshot move and passed Hamlin just before the finish line. The move almost didn't look real, and it took a few moments for everyone to realize what had just happened. It was truly an iconic moment that denied Hamlin another shot at his first Cup championship.

It was shock and disappointment for Hamlin, who dominated the second stage by leading every lap. He was in position coming to the checkered flag but was stunned to see Chastain slip by him right at the finish line. It was a bittersweet day for the Joe Gibbs Racing organization, with Bell winning the race and Hamlin getting knocked out.

Ryan Blaney finished 3rd behind Kyle Larson, but was one of the four playoff drivers that came up short. William Byron finished 8th and was also eliminated today. The last driver that missed out was Chase Briscoe (10th), who was leading the race until the final few laps when Bell was able to get by him.

The incredible moments for Bell and Chastain have them in the championship four, where they will go up against two former champions in Joey Logano and Chase Elliott, who finished 7th and 11th today. Bell's victory today was his third win of the season. Team Penske, Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, and Trackhouse Racing will all have a car battling for a championship next Sunday.
