So far, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season has featured everything fans of the sport could want. Underdog victories, rivalries heating up, new faces running up front and plenty of action on the track.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the Daytona 500, Kyle Busch won at Fontana and William Byron won at Las Vegas. Three races, three winners. The schedule comes to Phoenix for the fourth race of the year as well as the last one for the Championship Race. Can a fourth different driver break into the win column this weekend?

There are a few changes as far as who is driving what this weekend. Josh Berry will continue to fill in for the injured Chase Elliott. Todd Gilliland will make his 2023 debut in the No. 15 Rick Ware Racing car while last year’s Truck Series champion Zane Smith will pilot the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports machine.
