The Dwarf cars were making their debut at the 4-1-1 in 2022 and did so in impressive fashion. The #20 of Jonathan Allen set fast time earlier in the day and took control on the start with Open Wheel regular Matthew Hopper, Ty Bowman and Cody Norris in chase. Allen looked to have the race under control but would loop his machine in turn two sending himself to the rear for the restart. Back under green and the top three began to inch away from the pack. Allen was now on a mission to get back to the front as he quickly cut his way through the field. The caution would wave again as the #72 of Wayne Bray and the #315 of Jermiah Byrge would slow the pace.

The battle for third was one to watch with Nick Adams and Robert Gravity fighting it out. Just 12 laps in and Adams had built up a huge lead out front picking his way through the slower traffic. The strong top three run Owens had at the start came to an end as he pulled off the racing surface in the second half of the feature.
