More action in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series will be coming our way this week, as drivers and their teams all head to North Carolina for the staging of the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race. In this piece, we will take a look at some of the big hitters, some sleepers, and a long shot, who could shock the rest of the field with a stunning performance from out of nowhere.
Ranked second this season with 363 points, Larson is definitely a top driver to watch out for in the NASCAR All-Star Race. He has five top 10s and five top 5s with two wins thus far this campaign.
Byron is on a high at the moment following a win at the 2023 Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway last Sunday. That’s already this third victory of the season, as he had also won the 2023 Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube and the 2023 United Rentals Work United 500 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and at Phoenix Raceway, respectively.
The veteran Stewart-Haas driver is winless thus far this year, but he’s got four top 5s and six top 10s. He is also coming off a runner-up finish at the 2023 Goodyear 400.
Here’s what we have to say about Truex in our 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race sleepers piece:
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is currently sixth in the standings with 385 points. Truex has been pretty solid of late, as he’s got three top 10s in his last five starts. That includes his win at the 2023 Würth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway earlier this month. He also recently finished eighth at the 2023 AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Since February 2020, Truex has three wins in 17 races on short-course tracks.
