The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Richmond, Virginia this coming weekend for the 2023 Toyota Owners 400. Most eyes will certainly be on the favorites like William Byron, Kevin Harvick, and Kyle Larson, but here are three drivers who might be undervalued a bit. Check out three sleepers in the upcoming 2023 Toyota Owners 400.
Chastain regained some serious momentum following a splashy performance last week at EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix where he finished fourth. That was was third finish inside the top 10 of the season and the second inside the top five. Chastain has eight career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Richmond Raceway with one ending a top-10 finish. He has a career average finish of 23.3 at Richmond Raceway.
Although Suarez finished just 27th last week at the 2023 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, he could have easily cracked the top five in that race if it weren’t for a mishap that caused him to lag behind. Nevertheless, Suarez has three top 10s and a top five in seven starts so far this season. He has finished inside the top 10 in all of his last three NASCAR Cup Series starts at Richmond Raceway.
Cindric is coming off a sixth-place finish at Circuit of the Americas, which came after an 11th-place finish at the 2023 Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. On the season, Cindric has two top 10s across seven starts. After finishing no better than 20th in either of his first two NASCAR Cup Series starts at Richmond Raceway, Cindric finished 12th there during the 2022ederated Auto Parts 400.
