The 2022 Shore Lunch 200 was the 20th and final stock car race of the 2022 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 82nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, October 8, 2022, in Toledo, Ohio at Toledo Speedway, a 0.5 mile (0.804 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. In an exciting finish with four laps to go, Sammy Smith, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, would steal the win after moving Jesse Love out of the way with two laps to go.[3] This was Smith's sixth career ARCA Menards Series win, along with his sixth of the season. Jesse Love would dominate the entire race, leading 192 laps.

Nick Sanchez, driving for Rev Racing, would claim the 2022 ARCA Menards Series championship, finishing 14 points ahead of second position, which was Daniel Dye.[3][4] Sanchez would become the first driver born in Hispanic ancestry to win the championship.[5]
