The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 250 was the 21st stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the second race of the Round of 8, and the 17th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, October 1, 2022, in Lincoln, Alabama at Talladega Superspeedway, a permanent tri-oval shaped superspeedway. The race was increased from 94 laps to 95 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In a wild finish that sparked controversy, Matt DiBenedetto, driving for Rackley W.A.R., would steal the win after the caution flag came out on the final lap. This was DiBenedetto's first career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and the first of his career. To fill out the podium, Ben Rhodes, driving for ThorSport Racing, and Bret Holmes, driving for his family owned team, Bret Holmes Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

The race would receive controversy on the final lap. In turn three, ThorSport Racing teammates, Ben Rhodes and Christian Eckes, were battling side by side for the lead. Eckes would make contact with Corey Heim, causing Heim to hit the outside wall and spin down the racetrack. Bret Holmes would make a move to the outside lane to try and pass Rhodes. As Rhodes attempted to block, Matt DiBenedetto came to the inside and tried to take the lead. Rhodes would force DiBenedetto below the double yellow line, and both drivers would get sideways as they came across the line. Holmes was declared as the unofficial winner after crossing the line in front of Rhodes and DiBenedetto. However, the caution came out just before the field took the checkered flag. DiBenedetto would officially be declared as the winner, as he was out front when the caution had come out. Rhodes and Holmes would be credited with a 2nd and 3rd place finish.

The race would also be marred by a crash involving Jordan Anderson. On lap 18, Anderson would blow an engine coming into turn two, causing his truck to engulf in flames. Struggling to breathe from smoke inhalation, Anderson attempted to exit his truck while it was still moving. His truck would hit the inside retaining wall, with Anderson already half way out of the truck. He would lay down on the ground shortly after exiting his car, with medical personnel arriving on the scene. Anderson was taken to the infield care center, where he received minor burns to his arms, neck, and knees. He would later be transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.

This would also be the debut race for Parker Retzlaff.
