    NASCAR has officially unveiled the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series schedule. Some old, regular races, and some new, or returning tracks will make up the 2023 racing season for the NASCAR Cup Series drivers.

“As we prepare to celebrate our 75th anniversary season, we are committed to delivering a schedule that acknowledges the deep history and tradition of our sport while establishing a bold future that brings the best racing in the world to new markets and new fans,” said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR Senior Vice President of Racing Development and Strategy. “The 2023 schedules are a product of continued collaboration across our industry and partners. We are incredibly proud of what our sport will have to offer fans next season, and excited to celebrate this milestone season with the most diverse compilation of tracks in motorsports.”

Some highlights to the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series schedule include:

• NASCAR will head west for the final race on the 2-mile version of Auto Club Speedway (Sunday, February 26th) before visiting Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Sunday, March 5th) and Phoenix Raceway (Sunday, March 12th).
• As previously announced, NASCAR’s annual "All-Star Race" (Sunday, May 21st) will be hosted by North Wilkesboro Speedway – the first time the track will welcome the NASCAR Cup Series since 1996.
• The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs will once again begin at Darlington Raceway (Sunday, September 3rd), with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race set for Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, November 5th.

 

 Of course, not all NASCAR fans will always agree with the race schedule season to season. However, this upcoming year looks to be pretty impressive for the different tracks and the type of week-to-week racing it will create for the drivers.
