Race edit

The race was originally scheduled to start at 6:30PM ET on August 20, 2022, however officials elected to move the start time to 6:01 PM ET in anticipation of adverse weather conditions due to arrive later in the evening.[6]

The race was red-flagged at 7:55PM ET on lap 217 due to rain falling on the circuit. The red flag remained until the track had dried out enough for racing to resume, which happened over two hours later at 10:09PM ET.[7]
