The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 is finally done and dusted. The much-awaited race of the season started at 4:36 pm ET after an hour of delay due to inclement weather and lasted for two hours, 54 minutes, and eight seconds. It took place at Michigan International Speedway, with a total of 37 entries.

Driving the #4 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing, Kevin Harvick earned his first win of the 2022 season. On Sunday, he grabbed the lead on pit road on Lap 162 of 200 and drove away over the final green flag run to win the FireKeepers Casino 400 at the 2-mile-long race track. In a race that was filled with thrilling action, Harvick crossed the finish line 2.903 seconds ahead of pole winner Bubba Wallace Jr. to grab the checkered flag.

The win marked the 59th Cup Series career victory for the 46-year-old driver. Meanwhile, he became the 15th different driver to win a race in the first 23 races of the ongoing NASCAR season, putting him on the 16-driver playoff grid.

With his win at the Irish Hills of Michigan, the 2014 Cup Series champion ended a 65-race winless streak dating back to September 2020 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Meanwhile, Bubba Wallace Jr., who started the race from pole, finished second, followed by Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, and Ryan Blaney, the defending champion of the event, completing the top five.
