The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series was the 75th season for NASCAR professional stock car racing in the United States and the 52nd season for the modern-era Cup Series. The season started with the Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on February 5.[1] That race was followed by the Daytona Duel qualifying races and the 65th running of the Daytona 500 (the first points race of the season) on February 19, both at Daytona International Speedway.[2] The season ended with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway[3] on November 5.[4]

This was the final season for 2014 champion and Stewart–Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick, who announced his plans to retire at the end of the season on January 12, 2023.[5] This was also the first season since 1999 without 2004 champion Kurt Busch, who announced on October 15, 2022, that he would retire from full-time Cup Series competition.[6] On August 26, 2023, Busch announced his complete retirement from the Cup Series.[7]

Following the 2023 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, Martin Truex Jr. of Joe Gibbs Racing clinched the regular season championship.[8] Ty Gibbs, also of Joe Gibbs Racing, won NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors after Noah Gragson was suspended and released from Legacy Motor Club in August 2023.[9] Prior to the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville, Chevrolet claimed its 42nd Manufacturers' Championship.[10] At season's end, Ryan Blaney of Team Penske won the 2023 championship.[11]

## Rule changes

[edit]

* NASCAR debuted a "wet weather" package for short tracks in 2023 in response to rain delays. The package will consist of a windshield wiper, flaps behind the wheels, taillights, and rain tires.[96] This was made official on January 31, 2023, when NASCAR announced that the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Martinsville Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, North Wilkesboro Speedway, Richmond Raceway, the Chicago Street Course, and Phoenix Raceway would have wet weather packages.[97]
* Due to safety concerns from the 2022 season with drivers suffering concussions and feeling sore due to rear-end crashes, NASCAR made changes to the Next Gen's rear structure for 2023 to create a bigger crumple zone in the hopes that it will prevent the energy from those impacts from affecting the driver. The adjustment also includes slight changes to the center section of the car. Changes to the front structure were also slated to be made for the 2nd race at Atlanta Motor Speedway to further decrease the risk of injury.[98][99]
* NASCAR formally banned drivers from wall-riding (after Ross Chastain's "Hail Melon" stunt at the 2022 Xfinity 500). NASCAR cited previously existing rules that will now be enforced in a manner to ban the move.[100]
* Loose wheel penalties have been reduced to a two-lap penalty and two-race suspension to crew members (instead of four-race crew chief suspension).
* The requirement that drivers must be in the top 30 of the standings to be eligible for the playoffs has been removed.
* Stage break cautions have been eliminated at all road course races. Stage points will still be awarded to drivers on predetermined laps, but no caution will be displayed. This was done in an effort to reduce the time spent under cautions at lengthy tracks and to increase strategy during the race.[97] On September 12, 2023, NASCAR officials announced that the playoff race at the Charlotte ROVAL will not have this rule and that there will be cautions at the stage ends. This was done due to there only be one caution in the previous two road course events at Indianapolis and Watkins Glen. Additionally, Elton Sawyer, NASCAR's senior vice president of competition, "noted the desire to officiate all 10 Playoffs races consistently – with each race having stage-break cautions."[101]
* The choose cone rule, introduced in 2020, was extended to plate/superspeedway races for 2023, as well to dirt races.[102] On March 9, 2023, NASCAR announced that all road courses would have the choose cone rule for 2023, meaning that every race will have this rule.[103]

## Schedule

[edit]

The 2023 schedule was released on September 14, 2022.[104] The 2023 Daytona 500 was held on Sunday, February 19.[2] The season finale was held at Phoenix Raceway during the first weekend of November.[3] The Busch Light Clash returned to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the second year in a row and the race was held on February 5, which again was one week before the Super Bowl and two weeks before the Daytona 500.[1] This was the final season for Auto Club Speedway in its 2 mile configuration, as the track has since been dropped from the schedule to be reconfigured as a short track.

### Schedule changes

[edit]

#### Chicago Street Course

[edit]

After NASCAR used a Chicago Street Course track in the 2021 eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, it was speculated that NASCAR would like to make it a reality and have a street race in Chicago on the Cup Series schedule in the future. On July 7, 2022, Jordan Bianchi from The Athletic reported that an official announcement of this being added to the Cup Series schedule would come on July 19.[117] On June 17, Adam Stern from Sports Business Journal suggested that the Chicago Street Course could replace Road America on the 2023 Cup Series schedule as the street race would likely replace one of the road course races and Road America does not have a contract to have a Cup Series race in 2023.[118] Both the addition of the Chicago street race to the schedule and the fact that it would replace the race at Road America came on July 19.[111]

#### NASCAR All-Star Race

[edit]

On June 24, 2022, Adam Stern also reported that Fox Sports, which has the TV rights to the All-Star Race, has been trying to convince NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports to move the NASCAR All-Star Race to a different venue each year as is the case in other sports. After the 2022 All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway, which was widely considered unpopular and controversial by fans and the industry, the track tweeted that they would be hosting the All-Star Race again in 2023. However, the tweet was deleted amidst negative reactions to the announcement, leading to speculation that plans could change.[119] On September 7, it was revealed that the All-Star race will take place on the renovated North Wilkesboro Speedway.[120] It would be the first NASCAR Cup race on the track since 1996, after its dates were replaced by races at Texas Motor Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 1997.

#### Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400

[edit]

On January 2, 2023, thespun.com reported that the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway will be reduced to 400 miles. The article states that it is an attempted overall effort by NASCAR to hopefully reduce race times, so that they are closer to 2.5 hours, than the normal 3.5 to 4 hours.[121] The Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway was likewise shortened from 500 miles for similar reasons.
