Hendrick Motorsports had one of the best days at the track in the 2022 season as the result on and off the track has been huge positives for the team. Kyle Larson, the No:5 HMS Camaro ZL1 driver, and the defending cup champion has secured his second win of the season which was his second win this race weekend at the track as he also won the Xfinity Series race on Saturday.

But the main man of the day for HMS will be without any doubt Chase Elliott, the No:9 driver who missed out on a fifth win of the season as his dominant run throughout the rain delayed race came to a halt when he was muscled off for the lead by teammate Kyle Larson. Chase Elliott though has more to be happy about than feeling worse about his miss as he has won the Regular season Championship.
