Top Races to Watch
The big addition to the NASCAR calendar is a trip to Grant Park in downtown Chicago, and the Xfinity Series will be putting in laps on the shores of Lake Michigan on Saturday, July 1st. The street circuit weekend will be a big test for NASCAR and its aspirations to race more city street circuits. There will be pressure on each series for a successful race that fans want to see more of.
The addition of a street circuit race in Chicago brings the Xfinity Series to a whopping eight road courses, almost a quarter of the schedule. One makes the playoffs, with the Charlotte Roval race serving as the cutoff race for the Playoff Round of 12. With road course ringer Allmendinger now driving in the Cup Series full-time for Kaulig Racing, Xfinity Series road course races will look much different at the front in 2023.
As always, all eyes will be on the opening race of the season at Daytona. Both Daytona races in 2022 were hectic. Just ask Jeremy Clements, who wrecked out of February’s Daytona race early in the first stage, and managed to win August’s Daytona race in triple overtime. Daytona can be calamitous and chaotic, and that’s the charm of one of the most famous racetracks in America.
