And just like that, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series has reached the All-Star mark of the season. Have you made your picks yet for the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race? If you’re still on the fence, you can let the experts break down which drivers you should be keeping a close eye on.
Over at CBS Sports, Steven Taranto is picking Chase Elliott to win the race this weekend in North Wilkesboro.
“Believe it or not, there is one active Cup driver who has actually won at North Wilkesboro. The early 2010s saw a short-lived grassroots revival of North Wilkesboro, with a then 14-year-old Chase Elliott winning a PASS late model race on Labor Day weekend 2010. Elliott has achieved a great deal since, and a third-place finish at Darlington last week highlighted how he’s gotten back in a rhythm post-injury.”

Martin Truex Jr.
Here’s what TopBet’s Ryan Simpson said about Martin Truex Jr. in our preview of the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race race:
“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.”
