# 2022 New Holland 250

The 2022 New Holland 250 was the 21st stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 30th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, August 6, 2022, in Brooklyn, Michigan at Michigan International Speedway, a 2.0 miles (3.2 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 125 laps to complete. Ty Gibbs, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, dominated the final stages of the race, and earned his ninth career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, along with his fifth of the season. Gibbs would also lead the most laps, with 54. To fill out the podium, Justin Allgaier and Noah Gragson, both driving for JR Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

## Background

Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a 2-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located off U.S. Highway 12 on more than 1,400 acres (5.7 $km^2)$ approximately four miles (6.4 km) south of the village of Brooklyn, in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan. The track is 70 miles (110 km) west of the center of Detroit, 40 miles (64 km) from Ann Arbor and 60 miles (97 km) south and northwest of Lansing and Toledo, Ohio respectively. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a sister track to Texas World Speedway, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by NASCAR. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards). Michigan is the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners, long straightaways, and lack of a restrictor plate requirement; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h) and corner entry speeds are anywhere from 215 to 220 mph (346 to 354 km/h) after the 2012 repaving of the track.
