The 2022 Lucas Oil 150 was the 23rd and final stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season, the Championship 4 race, and the 24th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, November 4, 2022, in Avondale, Arizona at Phoenix Raceway, a permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was increased from 150 laps to 154 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Zane Smith, driving for Front Row Motorsports, would put on a dominating performance, leading 77 laps to earn his seventh career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and his fourth of the season.
By winning the race, Smith would also claim the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship, finishing just in front of Ben Rhodes and Chandler Smith in a 1-2-3 finish. This was Zane's first championship in the Truck Series, after finishing runner-up in the standings from 2020 to 2021. This was also the first championship for Front Row Motorsports as an organization.
