NASCAR Announces 2023 NASCAR National Series Schedules

NASCAR's Diamond Anniversary Season Highlighted By New Venues in all Three Series

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 14, 2022) – NASCAR today announced the 2023 schedules for the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. During the organization's 75th anniversary season, NASCAR's national series will visit an exciting mix of history-rich venues, short tracks and road courses, with the sport reaching a new level of excitement with the already-announced Chicago Street Race – a bold, first-of-its-kind addition in a globally renowned city.

 

"As we prepare to celebrate our 75th anniversary season, we are committed to delivering a schedule that acknowledges the deep history and tradition of our sport while establishing a bold future that brings the best racing in the world to new markets and new fans," said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR Senior Vice President of Racing Development and Strategy. "The 2023 schedules are a product of continued collaboration across our industry and partners. We are incredibly proud of what our sport will have to offer fans next season, and excited to celebrate this milestone season with the most diverse compilation of tracks in motorsports."

 

The 2023 Cup season will get underway with "round two" of the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, which will take place in East Coast primetime on Sunday, Feb. 5 on FOX. Two weeks later, on Sunday, Feb. 19, the 65th annual DAYTONA 500 will unfold live on FOX from Daytona International Speedway.

 

Additional highlights to the NASCAR Cup Series schedule include:

  • NASCAR will head west for the final race on the two-mile version of Auto Club Speedway (Sunday, Feb. 26) before visiting Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Sunday, Mar. 5) and Phoenix Raceway (Sunday, Mar. 12).

 

  • As previously announced, NASCAR's annual All-Star Race (Sunday, May 21) will be hosted by North Wilkesboro Speedway – the first time the track will welcome the Cup Series since 1996.

  • The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs will once again begin at Darlington Raceway (Sunday, Sept. 3), with the NASCAR Championship Race set for Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, Nov. 5.

 

As for the NASCAR Xfinity Series, a pair of road courses join the schedule for the first time in its four-decade history, as Names Will Be Made at Sonoma Raceway (June 10) and the Chicago Street Race (July 1). Bristol Motor Speedway will host the Xfinity Series Playoffs opener (Friday, Sept. 15) and the series will culminate with its championship race at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday, Nov. 4.

 

What's old is new for the 'Tough Trucks' as CRAFTSMAN returns to the series, as does a race at the historic Milwaukee Mile. Trucks will make a return to the Milwaukee Mile Speedway for the second race of the Round of 10 on Sunday, August 27. The visit will mark the first time the Trucks have returned to Brew City since 2009.

 

In addition, the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will get the festivities started on All-Star weekend when the trucks join the stars from the NASCAR Cup Series at the famed North Wilkesboro Speedway for the first time since 1996, on Saturday, May 20.

 

The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoffs will get underway on Friday, Aug. 11 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, and like the Cup Series and Xfinity Series, will crown a champion at Phoenix Raceway (Friday, Nov. 3) for the fourth consecutive year.

NASCAR REVS UP RACE-DAY VIEWING EXPERIENCE WITH LIVE IN-CAR CAMERA FEEDS FOR FULL NASCAR CUP SERIES FIELD

NASCAR REVS UP RACE-DAY VIEWING EXPERIENCE WITH LIVE IN-CAR

CAMERA FEEDS FOR FULL NASCAR CUP SERIES FIELD

Free NASCAR Drive digital product brings fans inside every car for the first time ever

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (September 8, 2022) – For the first time, NASCAR fans can view every lap of NASCAR Cup Series races from inside the cockpit of any car they choose. Live in-car camera streams for the entire NASCAR Cup Series field are available for free as part of NASCAR Drive, the sanctioning body's hub for live race-day video and real-time stats and information hosted on NASCAR.com and within the NASCAR Mobile App.

 

Fans can choose any driver's in-car camera feed beginning with this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 3 p.m. ET. The full-field in-car camera streams will remain a free, ad-supported offering for the remainder of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs and beyond.

 

"Our goal is to deliver an immersive experience for the most passionate fans in all of sports, no matter where they are," said Tim Clark, NASCAR senior vice president and chief digital officer. "We know the significant role second screens play in the overall viewing experience, so to provide live video from inside every car and alongside leaderboards, performance data, pit stats, live betting odds, and more is something we're excited about."

 

For several years, NASCAR has offered live in-car streams for a select number of drivers each week across NASCAR Drive, Mobile App, and its social media platforms. Now, fans will have complete control over their full-field viewing experience with the ability to toggle between up to four streams at once. With a subscription to NASCAR's Scanner product, fans can also listen to live audio from driver and team radio communications as well as the weekly radio broadcast. 

  

"We're fortunate to have tremendous people and partners who enable us to deliver this next-gen video experience to NASCAR fans all over the world," said Steve Stum, NASCAR vice president of operations and technical production. "It's no small feat to introduce something as ambitious as 40 live-streaming cameras inside these cars as they race side by side at speeds upward of 200 miles per hour."

 

The expanded streaming offer is possible in part because of NASCAR's new Next Gen race car, which was introduced at the start of the 2022 season. The Next Gen car design equipped every Cup Series car to accommodate a standard camera mount near the rearview mirror. The current system relies on a 1080p HD camera pointed forward out the front windshield, courtesy of NEP Group/Broadcast Sports International (BSI), that feeds live footage across Amazon Web Services (AWS) and directly into NASCAR Drive.

NASCAR Returns to Nashville for Champion’s Week

NASCAR Returns to Nashville for Champion's Week

Annual postseason celebration set to honor

NASCAR Champions in the Music City during 2022 Awards

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (September 6, 2022) – As an eventful 2022 race season enters its final turn, NASCAR today announced the return of its Champion's Week celebration to Nashville on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.

 

The NASCAR Awards will be held on Dec. 1 at the Music City Center to formally crown this season's NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champions. Fellow drivers, industry personalities and celebrities will take over downtown Nashville for the third year to celebrate an unforgettable 2022 season.

 

"We are pleased to announce our return to Music City for the celebration to crown our series champions," said Pete Jung, SVP, Chief Marketing Officer at NASCAR. "We are delighted to bring the celebration to Nashville once again, as the city's energy and passion for motorsports never ceases to amaze us. We are looking forward to being back following the conclusion of the 2022 season."

 

The formal postseason Awards is a tradition that stretches back to 1981, when the event was held in New York City. It relocated to Las Vegas in 2009 and then called Nashville its home for the first time in 2019. Over the last two years NASCAR has seen a tremendous turnout from the Nashville fans not only at the racetrack, but for the celebration of Champion's week. NASCAR looks to continue the tradition and conclude the season at one of the most iconic cities in the country.
