# 2022 Coke Zero Sugar 400

The 2022 Coke Zero Sugar 400 was a NASCAR Cup Series race held on August 28, 2022, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 160 laps on the 2.5-mile (4.0 km) superspeedway, it was the 26th race of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, and the final race of the regular season before the playoffs. The race was postponed from Saturday, August 27 to Sunday, August 28, due to rain.

## Report
### Background

The race was held at Daytona International Speedway, a race track located in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States. Since its opening in 1959, the track has been the home of the Daytona 500, the most prestigious race in NASCAR. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosts ARCA, AMA Superbike, USCC, SCCA, and Motocross races. It features multiple layouts including the primary 2.5 miles (4.0 km) high speed tri-oval, a 3.56 miles (5.73 km) sports car course, a 2.95 miles (4.75 km) motorcycle course, and a .25 miles (0.40 km) karting and motorcycle flat-track. The track's 180-acre (73 ha) infield includes the 29-acre (12 ha) Lake Lloyd, which has hosted powerboat racing. The speedway is owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation.
The track was built in 1959 by NASCAR founder William "Bill" France, Sr. to host racing held at the former Daytona Beach Road Course. His banked design permitted higher speeds and gave fans a better view of the cars. Lights were installed around the track in 1998 and today, it is the third-largest single lit outdoor sports facility. The speedway has been renovated three times, with the infield renovated in 2004 and the track repaved twice — in 1978 and in 2010. On January 22, 2013, the track unveiled artist depictions of a renovated speedway. On July 5 of that year, ground was broken for a project that would remove the backstretch seating and completely redevelop the frontstretch seating. The renovation to the speedway was done by Rossetti Architects. The project, named "Daytona Rising", was completed in January 2016, at a cost of US $400 million, placing emphasis on improving fan experience with five expanded and redesigned fan entrances (called "injectors") as well as wider and more comfortable seating with more restrooms and concession stands. After the renovations, the track's grandstands included 101,000 permanent seats with the ability to increase permanent seating to 125,000. The project was completed before the start of Speedweeks.

## Race
### Stages 1 & 2

Outside pole sitter Chase Elliott took the lead from pole sitter Kyle Larson and led the first lap. On lap 15, Larson's engine blew but did not leak fluid and the race kept going. On lap 21, Erik Jones challenged Elliott for the lead. Jones led laps 22 and 23 while Elliott led laps 24 to 26. On lap 27, Jones would pass Elliott for the lead. On lap 31, Elliott attempted to take the lead from Jones when Jones' pusher, Denny Hamlin, hit Jones at the wrong angle and turned Jones sideways that ended up causing a stack up wreck collecting 6 cars including Jones, Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Christopher Bell, and Ryan Blaney, who was in the midst of a battle for the last spot in the NASCAR playoffs with Martin Truex Jr. and multiple other drivers that were in must-win situations, bringing out the first caution of the race. Chase Elliott led the field to the restart on lap 35 which would be the last lap of stage 1. But Joey Logano took the lead from Elliott and Logano would win stage 1. Ross Chastain won the race off of pit road but multiple drivers did not pit including Corey LaJoie and LaJoie led the field to the restart on lap 41 to begin stage 2. Bubba Wallace took the lead from LaJoie on the restart. Erik Jones took the lead from Wallace on lap 43. On lap 44, Corey LaJoie took the lead from Jones. Jones would retake the lead from LaJoie on lap 46. On lap 51, Chris Buescher attempted to take the lead from Jones and led that lap and passed Jones but Jones would take it back the next lap. On lap 59, William Byron attempted to take the lead from Jones and led that lap but could not pass Jones and Jones would take the lead. On lap 63, Alex Bowman took the lead. On that same lap, disaster almost struck on Chris Buescher as he almost spun out off of turn 4 but saved it. On lap 64, Denny Hamlin took the lead from Bowman. On lap 77, green flag pit stops began. Hamlin pitted and gave the lead to Joey Logano. On lap 79, Logano and many others pitted handing the lead to B. J. McLeod. After everything cycled through, Chase Elliott was the new leader. On lap 82, Tyler Reddick took the lead from Elliott. On lap 86, Elliott took the lead back from Reddick. On lap 88, Reddick took the lead but was immediately passed by Kyle Busch. On lap 90, Reddick took the lead from Busch. On lap 92 and with 4 laps left in stage 2, Kyle Busch retook the lead and Busch would win stage 2.

### Final stage

Michael McDowell won the race off of pit road and he led the field to the restart on lap 101. On the restart, Joey Logano would take the lead from McDowell. On the next lap, the first big one would occur down the backstretch taking out 8 cars. It started when Tyler Reddick hit Michael McDowell at the wrong angle and McDowell went up and hit the outside wall and came down in front of the pack collecting Ross Chastain, Corey LaJoie, Chris Buescher, Martin Truex Jr., Bubba Wallace, and William Byron. The wreck would be big for Truex as he and Ryan Blaney were both battling each other and whoever is in a must-win situation to lock themselves into the playoffs. The race would restart on lap 108. Tyler Reddick took the lead from Logano on the restart. Logano would take the lead back on the next lap. Reddick would take the lead back on the next lap. With 46 laps to go, Alex Bowman would take the lead from Reddick. With 36 to go, Joey Logano took the lead from Bowman. On that same lap, the 5th caution of the race would occur for a multi car crash off of turn 4. Chase Briscoe attempted to take the lead from Logano but got turned by Alex Bowman and Briscoe hit the outside wall head on and collected Bowman, Austin Dillon, Aric Almirola, Bubba Wallace, and Cole Custer. Soon, weather was starting to become a threat and teams and drivers started to strategize in an attempt to win since the race was way past the halfway point. Justin Haley and Erik Jones stayed out and Haley led the field to the restart with 30 laps to go. But on the restart, the 6th caution would fly when Aric Almirola turned Erik Jones and Jones spun down and collected Joey Logano on the backstretch. Haley led the field to the restart with 26 to go. With 25 to go, Daniel Suárez took the lead from Haley. With 24 to go, Denny Hamlin attempted to take the lead from Suárez. But around that time, rain began to fall in turns 1 and 2. NASCAR did not realize it until it was too late. With 23 to go, another big one struck in turn 1 and causing the 7th and final caution of the race. In turn 1, Denny Hamlin, Daniel Suárez, Daniel Hemric, and Justin Haley all got sideways at the exact same time and all spun and the wreck collected a total of 18 cars including a majority of the top 20. Cars slid and spun everywhere due to the lack of grip on the pavement of the track. Some crashes were pretty scary. Ricky Stenhouse Jr's car ramped on top of the left rear of Aric Almirola's car. Daniel Suárez took a big shot into the outside wall where he got t-boned in the passengers side by Denny Hamlin. The first car to come out of the wreck unscathed would be Austin Dillon who was back in around the 17th position. The wreck collected Kevin Harvick, Tyler Reddick, Chase Elliott, Aric Almirola, Denny Hamlin, Daniel Hemric, Chris Buescher, Kyle Busch, Harrison Burton, Bubba Wallace, Justin Haley, Todd Gilliland, Ty Dillon, Erik Jones, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Cody Ware, Noah Gragson, and Daniel Suárez. The red flag was soon issued for the weather. The red flag lasted for nearly 3 hours and 20 minutes before the race could restart. There were only 17 cars left on track when the race restarted with 16 laps to go. Austin Dillon led the field to green. Dillon and many others behind him including Cody Ware were in a must-win situation if they wanted to lock themselves a spot in the playoffs. But on the restart, Austin Cindric, who won the 2022 Daytona 500 earlier in the year, took the lead with a push from Martin Truex Jr. Soon, Cindric led Dillon, Landon Cassill, and Martin Truex Jr. on a four car breakaway from the pack. Eventually, Tyler Reddick and Noah Gragson would join them. But Cassill and Truex both lost the draft and were trying to catch back up. With 6 to go, Cole Custer blew a right front tire and hit the outside wall but no caution was flown. Truex went all the way back to 10th in the second pack. His only hope was that Austin Cindric would hold off Austin Dillon in order to lock Truex into the playoffs. But with 3 to go, Dillon hit the rear bumper of Cindric hard enough that got Cindric loose and lose momentum and Dillon took the lead with his teammate Tyler Reddick behind him. Dillon would hold off the pack and Dillon would pick up his first win of 2022 and the win would lock him into the NASCAR playoffs. Despite an 8th-place finish, Martin Truex Jr. would miss the playoffs by 3 points to Ryan Blaney, who finished 15th 6 laps down. Tyler Reddick, Austin Cindric, Landon Cassill, and Noah Gragson rounded out the top 5 while Cody Ware, B. J. McLeod, Martin Truex Jr., David Ragan, and Kyle Busch rounded out the top 10.
