The 2022 Henry Ford Health System 200 was the 12th stock car race of the 2022 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 34th iteration of the event.

In an exciting battle for the win, Nick Sanchez, driving for Rev Racing, held off Daniel Dye and Corey Heim in the final few laps for his fourth career ARCA Menards Series win, and his third of the season. Heim would mostly dominate the race, leading 54 laps.

Background
Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a 2 mi moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located off U.S. Highway 12 on more than 1400 acre approximately 4 mi south of the village of Brooklyn, in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan. The track is 70 mi west of the center of Detroit, 40 mi from Ann Arbor and 60 mi south and northwest of Lansing and Toledo, Ohio respectively. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a sister track to Texas World Speedway, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by NASCAR. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards). Michigan is the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners, long straightaways, and lack of a restrictor plate requirement; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 200 mph and corner entry speeds are anywhere from 215 to 220 mph after the 2012 repaving of the track.
