NASCAR 2022 Roval – Full Race results from Round 6 of the Playoffs

Christopher Bell won at the Roval to advance to the Round of 8 while reigning champion Kyle Larson was one of four drivers eliminated.

Bell only had one way of advancing into the next round of the playoffs, and that was by winning the race. He did just that, winning a chaotic race on the Charlotte Roval. Bell took the lead from Kevin Harvick on the final restart of the race. This was the second win of the season for Bell, and it came when he needed it most.

The event had little action until a caution for debris with three laps remaining changed the complexion of the race. Several playoff drivers were spun in the final moments of the event, setting up a chaotic finish. The four drivers eliminated from the playoffs were Larson, Daniel Suarez, Austin Cindric, and Alex Bowman.

Larson suffered a broken toe link on his car late in the race that moved him to the back of the field. Through the final two restarts, he lost ground to other playoff drivers, ultimately missing the next round of the playoffs by just two points.

Daniel Suarez lost power steering in his car and began dropping through the field. His Trackhouse Racing teammate Ross Chastain also had issues after hitting the wall. Chastain was not able to finish the race, but still managed to advance.

Cindric, the Daytona 500 winner, was one of the drivers spun at the very end of the race. The rookie was unable to join his two Penske teammates in the Round of 8. Alex Bowman missed his second consecutive race due to a concussion, and was already eliminated from the playoffs.
