The 2022 Victoria's Voice Foundation 200 was the second stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the 26th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, March 4, 2022, in North Las Vegas, Nevada at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent D-shaped oval racetrack. The race was run over 134 laps. Chandler Smith of Kyle Busch Motorsports would win the race after making a last lap pass on Zane Smith.[1] This was Smith's third career win, and the first of the season. To fill out the podium, Kyle Busch of Kyle Busch Motorsports and Stewart Friesen of Halmar Friesen Racing would finish second and third, respectively. Zane Smith was going to be awarded with second place, but was disqualified after post-race inspection, due to the team having lug nuts that didn't meet the NASCAR specifications.[2]
