2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

The 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series was the 29th season of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season started with the NextEra Energy 250 on February 17 at Daytona International Speedway, and ended with the Craftsman 150[1] on November 3 at Phoenix Raceway.

Ben Rhodes, the 2023 Craftsman Truck Series champion.
Grant Enfinger finished second behind Rhodes in the championship.
Carson Hocevar finished third in the championship.
Corey Heim won the regular season championship, but finished fourth in the championship.
Nick Sanchez, the Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year.
Chevrolet won the manufacturers' championship with 868 points and 14 wins.

This was the first season of the Truck Series with Craftsman as the title sponsor since 2008. Camping World, the title sponsor of the series from 2009 to 2022, did not renew their title sponsorship of the series[2] and Craftsman returned as the title sponsor, although the tool company is now owned by Stanley Black & Decker instead of Sears, who owned Craftsman when they were the series title sponsor from 1995 to 2008.[1]

Zane Smith entered the season as the defending champion, returning to the Front Row Motorsports No. 38 truck full-time in 2023 seeking to win a second consecutive championship.[3]

This was also the first season in series history where two drivers with the exact same first and last name who are not related to each other competed together in a Truck Series race. Jason White from Virginia and Jason White from British Columbia, Canada raced against each other in the season-opener at Daytona with the American Jason White driving the No. 1 truck for Tricon Garage in his first Truck Series start since 2014 and the Canadian Jason White driving the No. 34 truck for Reaume Brothers Racing. NASCAR distinguished the two of them on the entry list and race results by using their middle initials.

Corey Heim of Tricon Garage accomplished a rare feat in NASCAR during the season. He was the points leader heading into the 2023 Toyota 200 at Gateway, which he had to miss due to being sick, and after that race, (although only by 1 point) he was still the points leader. At the conclusion of the 2023 Worldwide Express 250 at Richmond, Heim claimed the regular season championship. In addition, Nick Sanchez of Rev Racing won NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors.[4] Ben Rhodes of ThorSport Racing won his second Truck Series championship at season's end.[5]

Teams edit

  • On October 1, 2022, Bret Holmes stated in his post-race interview after the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 250 that he and his team would like to run full-time in the Truck Series in 2023.[94] On February 3, 2023, Holmes officially announced that he and his team would run full-time in 2023.[53]
  • On October 5, 2022, Kelly Crandall from RACER Magazine reported that David Gilliland Racing would field four full-time trucks in 2023 after a manufacturer switch from Ford to Toyota. DGR fielded three full-time trucks in 2022. The fourth truck would be for a rotation of Toyota development drivers. Toyota's development drivers have driven part-time in the Kyle Busch Motorsports No. 51 truck for several years, but KBM will switch from Toyota to Chevrolet in 2023 as a result of Kyle Busch's move from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing in the Cup Series.[95] On October 27, DGR officially announced their 2023 plans which included everything Crandall reported except for that the fourth truck for the development drivers (the No. 1) would be fielded part-time instead of full-time and that the team would also change its name to Tricon Garage.[47] On December 5, Tricon announced that they would be adding a fourth full-time truck, the No. 5, making the part-time No. 1 truck a fifth truck for the team.[48] Hill Motorsports, which used the No. 5 in 2022 for a second part-time truck for the team driven by Tyler Hill, will be giving up the number to Tricon. On January 17, 2023, Hill Motorsports announced that they would not field a part-time second truck in 2023 with a different number.[96]
  • On October 25, 2022, GMS Racing announced that they would be fielding a third full-time truck, the No. 43, driven by Daniel Dye. Team President Mike Beam stated that the team would be expanding their Truck Series program although the number of trucks the team will field in 2023 was not specified.[7] Reaume Brothers Racing, which used the No. 43 in 2022, will be giving up the number to GMS. The team revealed on January 24, 2023 that they would renumber their No. 43 truck to the No. 34 (the number of that truck in 2021).[35]
  • On November 4, 2022, Kyle Busch Motorsports announced it would downsize from three truck teams to two in 2023: the No. 4 and the No. 51.[97]
  • On November 4, 2022, ARCA Menards Series team Rev Racing announced that they would expand into the Truck Series, fielding one full-time truck, the No. 2 driven by 2022 main ARCA Series champion Nick Sanchez, in an alliance with Kyle Busch Motorsports.[97]
  • On January 16, 2023, it was revealed that Hattori Racing Enterprises would only field one full-time truck in 2023, the No. 16 driven by Tyler Ankrum. The No. 61 truck, previously driven by Chase Purdy (who left to drive the KBM No. 4 truck), will only be fielded part-time in 2023. The driver lineup and which races it will be entered in have yet to be determined.[75] On March 17, 2023, Hattori announced that Christopher Bell would drive the No. 61 truck in the race at North Wilkesboro, making his first Truck Series start since 2018.
  • On March 27, 2023, a new team based in Pittsburgh, TriPoint Racing, announced that they plan to make their Truck Series debut in the race at Mid-Ohio, fielding the No. 37 truck. The team did not announce their driver, sponsor, crew chief and manufacturer at the time.[98] The team ended up not entering the race at Mid-Ohio.
  • On August 17, 2023, it was revealed that Dexter Bean would re-start his own team, BlackJack Racing, which he and his family fielded in the Cup Series in 2009, and would enter a truck in the race at Milwaukee in his home state of Wisconsin. Bean also ran the last Truck Series race there in 2009. That was also the last year he raced in the Truck Series.[52]
  • On October 26, 2023, Spire Motorsports announced that they would field a second truck, the No. 77, for the first time in the season-finale at Phoenix with Derek Kraus as the driver.[64]

J. Allmendinger, who would return to the Cup Series full-time in 2023 driving Kaulig's No. 16 Cup car).[99]
  • On October 5, 2022, Kelly Crandall from RACER Magazine reported that Corey Heim would move from Kyle Busch Motorsports, where he drove their No. 51 truck part-time in 2022, to David Gilliland Racing to run full-time in one of their trucks in 2023.

  • On October 10, 2022, Chris Knight from Catchfence reported that 2022 ARCA Menards Series champion Nick Sanchez would likely drive for a Chevrolet team in the Truck Series in 2023.

  • On October 18, 2022, it was announced that Chase Purdy would not return to the Hattori Racing Enterprises No. 61 truck in 2023.[42] On November 4, it was announced that Purdy would drive the No. 4 truck for Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2023, replacing John Hunter Nemechek.[97]
  • On October 25, 2022, GMS Racing announced that Daniel Dye, who drove for the team full-time in the main ARCA Series in 2022, would move up to the Truck Series full-time in 2023 for the team.

The season-opener at Daytona was Dye's Truck Series debut.[7]
  • On October 27, 2022, David Gilliland Racing, which announced it would rename to Tricon Garage, announced that Taylor Gray would drive their No. 17 truck full-time in 2023 except for the first three races due to his 18th birthday not being until March 25. The first three races are at tracks where 17-year-old drivers cannot compete at as per NASCAR's age restriction policy. Gray drove the No. 17 truck part-time in 2021 and 2022.[47]
  • On October 27, 2022, it was announced that the David Gilliland Racing (Tricon Garage starting in 2023) No. 1 truck, which was driven full-time by Hailie Deegan in 2022, would become a part-time truck for the team in 2023 and would be driven by Toyota Racing Development drivers as part of the team's switch from Ford to Toyota.[47] Deegan will not return to the rebranded team in 2023 as she has a contract with Ford as one of their development drivers. On January 19, 2023, Tricon announced that William Sawalich, the new driver of Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 18 ARCA car, would drive the No. 1 truck part-time in 2023.[86]
  • On November 4, 2022, Kyle Busch Motorsports announced that Jack Wood, who drove the No. 24 truck for GMS Racing full-time in 2022, would drive part-time in the team's No. 51 truck in 2023, sharing it with team owner Kyle Busch as well as other drivers to be named at a later time.[97] On March 9, 2023, KBM announced that Hendrick Motorsports Cup Series driver William Byron would drive their No. 51 truck in three races. Byron drove full-time for the team in 2016 and is able to return to the team now that they switched to Chevrolet, which is Hendrick's manufacturer.[14]
  • On November 30, 2022, Colby Howard revealed to Joseph Srigley from TobyChristie.com that he would not return to the No. 91 truck for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing in 2023. He did get another full-time ride in the Truck Series with another team but did not announce which team it is.[102] On February 7, 2023, it was announced that Howard would return to CR7 Motorsports to drive their No. 9 truck full-time in 2023, replacing Blaine Perkins, who moved up to the Xfinity Series full-time in 2023 driving the No. 07 car for SS-Green Light Racing.

  • On December 1, 2022, TobyChristie.com reported that Rajah Caruth would drive the No. 24 truck for GMS Racing in 2023, replacing Jack Wood, who left to drive the Kyle Busch Motorsports No. 51 truck part-time. It will be his first full-time season in the Truck Series.

  • On December 5, 2022, Tricon Garage announced that Dean Thompson would drive for the team in 2023 in their new No. 5 truck. Thompson drove the No. 40 truck full-time for Niece Motorsports in 2022.[48] Thompson was not replaced as Niece would cut back to three full-time trucks in 2023, with the No. 40 truck not being one of them.
  • On December 6, 2022, McAnally-Hilgemann Racing announced that Christian Eckes, who previously drove the No. 98 truck for ThorSport Racing, would drive their No. 19 truck full-time in 2023, replacing Derek Kraus, and Jake Garcia, who drove part-time for the team in 2022, would drive their No. 35 truck in every race except the season-opener at Daytona due to his 18th birthday not coming until after that race.[11]
  • On December 6, 2022, Bob Pockrass from Fox reported that Hailie Deegan may replace Christian Eckes in ThorSport Racing's No. 98 truck in 2023. Eckes left the team to drive the No. 19 truck for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing. If this happens, ThorSport would also switch from Toyota back to Ford, their manufacturer from 2018 to 2020, as Deegan has a contract as a Ford development driver. Deegan lost her ride with David Gilliland Racing when that team (which renamed to Tricon Garage) switched from Ford to Toyota for 2023.[103] On December 15, 2022, ThorSport Racing officially announced that Deegan would drive for them in 2023, replacing Eckes as a full-time driver on the team, but she would drive their No. 13 truck (which ran part-time in 2022 with Johnny Sauter) instead of the No. 98.[37]
  • On January 10, 2023, AM Racing announced that Christian Rose would drive full-time for the team in the main ARCA Series in 2023 in their No. 32 car as well as run part-time in the Truck Series for the team.

  • On January 17, 2023, it was announced that Ryan Vargas would drive the No. 30 truck for On Point Motorsports part-time in 2023 starting at Atlanta. Despite having competed in the Xfinity Series since 2019, it will be Vargas' Truck Series debut.[77]
  • On January 24, 2023, Reaume Brothers Racing announced that Mason Massey would drive full-time for them in 2023 in their No. 33 truck. In 2022, Massey drove all but six races in the DGM Racing No. 91 car in the Xfinity Series. He also drove part-time for RBR in the Truck Series in 2019. It is the first time RBR has ever had one driver run the full season in one of their trucks.[35]
  • On January 31, 2023, Roper Racing announced that Kaden Honeycutt would drive the No. 04 truck in the first six races of the season. Honeycutt ran part-time in the Truck Series for G2G Racing and On Point Motorsports in 2022.[92] On April 19, Roper Racing announced that Johnny Sauter would replace Honeycutt.[104]
  • On February 1, 2023, it was announced that Derek Kraus, who lost his full-time ride in the McAnally-Hilgemann No. 19 truck to Christian Eckes for 2023, would drive the Young's Motorsports No. 20 truck in the season-opener at Daytona.

He stated in an interview with Frontstretch that the plan is to drive for his own team, 1/4 Ley Racing, which he has fielded in ARCA although it is possible that he could partner with another team with owner points to have a better chance of qualifying for the race. It would be his and his team's debut in the Truck Series.[106] On February 2, Tim Viens, the owner of G2G Racing, announced in an interview with TobyChristie.com that Quarterley would drive for his team in that race.[72] He drove their No. 46 truck in that race as well as in the race at Mid-Ohio.
  • On February 2, 2023, Tim Viens, the owner of G2G Racing, announced in an interview with TobyChristie.com that Memphis Villareal would run seven races (the only one that has been announced so far is COTA) for his team in 2023, making his debut in NASCAR and Truck Series. Additionally, Viens announced that B. J. McLeod and Brennan Poole would drive for G2G at Las Vegas and Atlanta with one driver in the No. 46 truck and the other in the No. 47.[72] Although Poole would drive the No. 46 at Las Vegas, the No. 47 truck was not entered into either race with McLeod and Poole was replaced by Akinori Ogata in the No. 46 for Atlanta.
  • On February 8, 2023, Young's Motorsports announced that Kris Wright would return to the team in 2023, driving their No. 02 truck full-time. It is the same truck he drove for the majority of the 2021 season before he left to drive the No. 44 truck for Niece Motorsports in 2022.[24] On May 30, the team announced that they had parted ways with Wright.[25] Chris Hacker would drive the No. 02 truck at Gateway, moving over from the On Point Motorsports No. 30 truck which was withdrawn from the race after he got the ride in the No. 02. Layne Riggs drove the No. 02 truck at Nashville. On July 3, it was announced that Will Rodgers would drive the No. 02 truck at Mid-Ohio.[26]
  • On February 13, 2023, it was announced that Conner Jones would drive part-time for ThorSport Racing in 2023 in their No. 66 truck with Ty Majeski now driving the No. 98 truck full-time. Jones competed part-time in ARCA for Venturini Motorsports in 2022 and is doing so again in 2023 despite Venturini being a Toyota team and ThorSport now being a Ford team.[71]
  • On February 14, 2023, Johnny Sauter was replaced by Norm Benning in the No. 46 G2G Racing truck on the entry list for the season-opener at Daytona. The reason for the driver change is unknown.[73]
  • On May 8, 2023, Spire Motorsports revealed that Alex Bowman would not drive their No. 7 truck in the race at North Wilkesboro due to Bowman's injury in a sprint car race on April 25 that had been sidelining him from racing in the Cup Series at the time. On May 11, it was announced that Kyle Larson would fill in for Bowman, his Hendrick Motorsports Cup Series teammate, in the truck in that race.[63][62]
  • On July 3, 2023, Reaume Brothers Racing announced that Caleb Costner would attempt to make his Truck Series debut in the race at Mid-Ohio in their No. 34 truck. Costner has competed part-time in all three ARCA series since 2021.[91]
  • On August 2, 2023, Niece Motorsports announced that Shane van Gisbergen would be attempting to make his Truck Series debut, as well as his oval debut in NASCAR, in the race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.[17]
  • On August 9, 2023, Young's Motorsports announced that Greg Van Alst would drive the No. 20 truck for the rest of the season, starting with his Truck Series debut in the race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.[34] On September 30, Van Alst was injured in a crash in the race at Talladega and had to be sent to the hospital. He would not recover in time for the races at Homestead-Miami and Phoenix and Nick Leitz would drive the No. 20 truck instead.[33] (Leitz had been announced on May 1 to drive the No. 20 truck at Homestead-Miami[32] and would likely have been moved to the team's No. 02 truck and driven it instead of Brad Perez if Van Alst was still able to race.)
  • On August 17, 2023, NASCAR suspended Chris Hacker and Jason White indefinitely for violating Section 4.4. D. of the NASCAR Rule Book, stating actions detrimental to stock car racing - particularly on being charged with or convicted of significant criminal violations. Hacker was arrested on August 15 while White was arrested on August 3; both were charged with DWI.[107]
  • On September 19, 2023, after he was eliminated from the playoffs, Rackley WAR removed Matt DiBenedetto from their No. 25 truck after the Bristol night race. DiBenedetto had already announced he would not be returning to the team in 2024.[108] On September 26, Chandler Smith was announced as the driver of the No. 25 at Talladega.[109] On October 17, the team announced that Trevor Bayne would drive the No. 25 truck at Homestead-Miami.[21] On October 19, it was announced that Stefan Parsons would drive the No. 25 truck in the season-finale at Phoenix.[22]

Manufacturers edit

Sponsorship edit

Rule changes edit

  • In Austin, there were no caution flags at the end of each stage. NASCAR added this rule to all road course races in the top three series for 2023 that are paired with Cup Series races.
  • The Texas race, moved back to INDYCAR weekend for the first time since 2019, will join Mid-Ohio as races governed by standalone races. At Texas, the first stage of 77 laps is split with a controlled competition caution around Lap 35 with the same rules as pit stops at the end of the stage. The other two stages are 45 laps each.

Schedule edit

The North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May
The CRC Brakleen 150 at Pocono Raceway in July

The entire schedule was released on September 14, 2022.[117]

Notes: Race names and title sponsors are subject to change. Not all title sponsors/names of races have been announced for 2023. (New series title sponsor Craftsman will become the title sponsor for the season-finale at Phoenix.[1]) For the races where a 2023 name and title sponsor has yet to be announced, the title sponsors/names of those races in 2022 are listed.
