Changes

Teams

  • On July 14, 2022, Emerling-Gase Motorsports announced that they would expand to two full-time cars, with the No. 53, previously a part-time car, running full-time in 2023. One car would have one full-time driver with multiple drivers sharing the other car.[74] On February 2, 2023, the team announced that the No. 53 car would be driven by team co-owners Joey Gase and Patrick Emerling (as well as previously announced part-time drivers Brad Perez and C. J. McLaughlin), making the No. 35 car the car that will have one full-time driver.[76]
  • On August 25, 2022, Front Row Motorsports announced that Zane Smith, who drives for the team full-time in the Truck Series, would run part-time for a Ford team in the Xfinity Series with entries being fielded in a collaboration with them (instead of FRM starting their own Xfinity Series team).[97]
  • On September 20, 2022, JD Motorsports announced that they would expand to three full-time Xfinity Series cars in 2023. The team downsized from four full-time cars to two in 2022.[21]
  • On October 7, 2022, it was announced that Truck and ARCA Series team AM Racing, owned by driver Austin Wayne Self, would expand into the Xfinity Series in 2023. The team's car number, driver(s), sponsors and crew chief have all yet to be announced. The team will attempt to qualify for the season-opener at Daytona.[46]
  • On October 26, 2022, Jesse Iwuji stated in an interview with Dustin Albino from Jayski that he would like to expand his team to two full-time cars in 2023 if sponsorship can be found for a second car.[98] However, on February 17, 2023, Kyle Weatherman, who drove for the team in 2023, revealed to TobyChristie.com that JIM would not field a second car and would also be cutting back their one car, the No. 34, to part-time in 2023 amidst the team's sponsorship struggles following the loss of the No. 34 car's primary sponsor, Equity Prime Mortgage, in a lawsuit and legal battle.[90]
  • On November 5, 2022, Mike Harmon Racing announced that Gary Keller would join the team as a co-owner after having been a co-owner of JD Motorsports from 2012 to 2022. The team will be back in the Xfinity Series in 2023 although they have yet to announce their 2023 plans.[99] On December 19, Brandon Kauffman, the team's PR & Marketing Assistant, teased on the NASCAR Reddit page that the team would field the No. 74 car again in 2023. In 2022, MHR only fielded that car in the season-opener at Daytona when it had run full-time for several years prior.[100] On January 13, 2023, the team announced that they would be renaming to CHK Racing after the addition of another co-owner, Michael Clayton Sr, as well as to reflect Keller's new co-ownership of the team. The No. 74 car will be fielded full-time while the No. 47 car will be fielded part-time.[84]
  • On November 16, 2022, Stewart-Haas Racing announced that they would be expanding to two full-time Xfinity Series cars in 2023. The second car will be driven by Cole Custer, who is moving back to the Xfinity Series after three years driving the team's No. 41 Cup Series car.[55] On November 23, it was revealed that Custer would drive the No. 00, the same car number SHR used when they last fielded a second Xfinity Series car and Custer was the driver.[101]
  • On December 8, 2022, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that their No. 54 car would be renumbered to the No. 20 in 2023. JGR did not use that number in 2022 after downsizing from four full-time Xfinity Series cars to three and the No. 20 car was the car that closed down.[63]
  • On December 8, 2022, Sam Hunt Racing announced that they would expand to two full-time cars in 2023, with their No. 24 car now being fielded full-time after having been fielded part-time in 2021 and 2022.[65]
  • On December 20, 2022, Alpha Prime Racing announced that they would expand to three full-time cars in 2023. Their new third car, the No. 43, will be driven by Ryan Ellis in 24 races with the driver(s) for the remaining 9 races to be announced at a later time.[3] On March 13, 2023, it was revealed on the entry list for the race at Atlanta that APR would field a fourth car, the No. 42, in that race to be driven by team owner Caesar Bacarella. However, the car would be withdrawn and Bacarella would instead replace Timmy Hill in the No. 66 car for MBM Motorsports with the entry being fielded in a collaboration with APR.[71]
  • On January 4, 2023, Jordan Anderson Racing announced that they would expand to two full-time cars in 2023. The second car will be the No. 27 driven by Jeb Burton. He used the same number in 2022 driving full-time for Our Motorsports.[26]
  • On February 18, 2023, MBM Motorsports announced it will scale back to one full-time team. The No. 66 will remain as the full-time entry while plans for the No. 13 are yet to be determined after Daytona.[102]
  • On March 3, 2023, Preston Pardus announced that he would return to driving for his own team in the Xfinity Series, which he last did in 2019. That year, the team used the No. 43, which is now taken by Alpha Prime Racing, so the team switched to the No. 50, a number that Pardus' father Dan used in the Cup Series in 1999 driving for Midwest Transit Racing. The first Xfinity Series race Preston and his team ran in 2023 was Circuit of the Americas.[93]
  • On March 7, 2023, Cup and Truck Series team Spire Motorsports announced that they would expand into the Xfinity Series in 2023, fielding the No. 77 car part-time for Carson Hocevar, who drives full-time in the Truck Series for Niece Motorsports. This made Spire the only team to field entries in all three NASCAR national series in 2023.[95]

Drivers

  • On August 10, 2022, it was announced that Noah Gragson, who drove the JR Motorsports No. 9 car full-time for four years from 2019 to 2022, would move up to the Cup Series full-time in 2023, driving the Petty GMS Motorsports No. 42.[103] On September 15, JRM announced that Brandon Jones would leave Joe Gibbs Racing and move to JRM to replace Gragson in the No. 9 car.[31]
  • On September 26, 2022, NASCAR YouTuber Casey Campbell revealed that Brandon Brown told him that he would not return to his family-owned team Brandonbilt Motorsports in their No. 68 car in 2023.[104][105]
  • On October 5, 2022, Kaulig Racing announced that Chandler Smith, who has driven full-time in the Truck Series in the No. 18 for Kyle Busch Motorsports for the last two years, would replace A. J. Allmendinger in the No. 16 in 2023, as Allmendinger would return to the Cup Series to drive the team's No. 16 car full-time.[37]
  • On October 28, 2022, Jeb Burton announced he would be leaving Our Motorsports at the end of the 2022 season.[106]

  • On October 30, 2022, Corazón de F1 reported that open wheel driver Baltazar Leguizamón had obtained a license to drive in the Xfinity Series and he could attempt some of the road course races in 2023. He would become the first driver from Argentina to compete in the series.[107] On December 23, MBM Motorsports announced that Leguizamón would drive for the team in the race at Circuit of the Americas in 2023 once they find a sponsor for him. On March 20, 2023, MBM announced that Cameron Lawrence would drive their No. 66 car at COTA instead of Leguizamón as they could not find a sponsor for him for that race. However, the team stated that he could run another race for the team later in the year if a sponsor is found.[108] Later in the day, CHK Racing announced that Leguizamón would make his Xfinity Series debut at COTA driving their No. 74 car instead of for MBM.[15]
  • On October 31, 2022, Ryan Vargas announced that he would not return to JD Motorsports in 2023. He drove the team's No. 6 for the majority of the 2021 and 2022 seasons.[24] On December 2, JDM announced Brennan Poole as Vargas' replacement in the No. 6.[23]
  • On November 1, 2022, B. J. McLeod Motorsports announced that Garrett Smithley would drive the team's No. 78 car full-time in 2023. He drove that car as well as the team's No. 5 car part-time in the Xfinity Series in 2022.[81] On January 7, 2023, the team announced that the car would be renumbered from the No. 78 to the No. 99.[82] After Smithley and the No. 99 car failed to qualify for two of the first three races of the season, the car was withdrawn from the race at Phoenix in March and Smithley instead drove the No. 91 car for DGM Racing in that race.[18] On March 13, 2023, an article on TobyChristie.com stated that Bayley Currey would be replaced in the JD Motorsports No. 4 car starting at Atlanta in March by Garrett Smithley for 14 races and other driver(s) for the remaining 15 races according to a crew member from the team who requested anonymity. Another anonymous crew member told the website that Smithley would run the remainder of the season in the No. 4 car. The next day, JDM officially announced that Smithley would drive the No. 4 car for the rest of the year, replacing Currey. He previously drove full-time for the team from 2016 to 2019, primarily in their No. 0 car.[22]
  • On November 15, 2022, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Ty Gibbs would move up to the Cup Series full-time for the team in 2023, replacing Kyle Busch in the renumbered No. 54 car (previously the No. 18).[1] On December 8, JGR announced that John Hunter Nemechek would drive the renumbered No. 20 full-time in 2023. In 2021 and 2022, Nemechek drove full-time for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Truck Series and part-time for JGR in the Xfinity Series.[63]
  • On November 16, 2022, Stewart-Haas Racing announced that Cole Custer will move back to the Xfinity Series after three seasons in the Cup Series. He will drive a second full-time Xfinity Series car for the team.[55] On November 23, SHR posted a video on their Twitter account revealing that Custer would drive the No. 00, the same number he used when he ran full-time in the Xfinity Series for the team from 2017 to 2019.[101]
  • On December 8, 2022, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that their No. 19 car, previously driven full-time by Brandon Jones (who left to drive the JRM No. 9 car), would have multiple drivers sharing the car throughout the season instead of the No. 18 car, which will now be driven full-time by Sammy Smith. Ryan Truex, who was one of the drivers of the No. 18 in 2022, will continue driving part-time for JGR in 2023 in the No. 19 car. The rest of the driver lineup for the No. 19 car has yet to be announced.[60]
  • On December 8, 2022, Sam Hunt Racing announced that Kaz Grala would drive their No. 26 car full-time in 2023. It is the first time that car has had one driver for the full season as well as Grala's first full-time ride in NASCAR since 2017 when he drove for GMS Racing in the Truck Series. Grala drove the same car in the 2022 season-finale at Phoenix after driving for multiple other teams part-time in 2022 in the Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series.[65]
  • On December 8, 2022, Sam Hunt Racing announced that Connor Mosack would drive their No. 24 car part-time in 2023. In 2022, he drove one race for the team in their No. 26 car at Watkins Glen as well as Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 18 car at Portland. Mosack also drove part-time for Bret Holmes Racing in the Truck and ARCA Series in 2022.[65] On January 23, 2023, SHR announced that Tyler Reddick would drive the No. 24 in select races starting with Fontana.[66]

  • On December 23, 2022, SS-Green Light Racing owner Bobby Dotter stated in a video on the team's Twitter account that Joe Graf Jr. would not be back with SSGLR in 2023 and that the team will have new drivers for their cars in 2023.[42] On January 9, 2023, the team announced that Blaine Perkins, who drove full-time for CR7 Motorsports full-time in the Truck Series in 2022 and for Our Motorsports part-time in the Xfinity Series in 2021 and 2022, would drive their No. 07 car full-time in 2023.[43] On March 21, 2023, the team announced that they had parted ways with Perkins after a poor start to the season. Multiple drivers will drive the No. 07 car for the rest of the year starting with full-time Niece Motorsports Truck Series driver Carson Hocevar making his Xfinity Series debut at COTA.[44]

J. Allmendinger announced he would drive the No. 10 at COTA.[36] The next day, Kyle Busch announced he would drive the No. 10 for five races, ending his retirement in the Xfinity Series after scoring a total of 102 wins in 2021. As Allmendinger and Busch are full-time Cup drivers, they are allowed to run up to five races in the Xfinity Series.[35]
  • On January 27, 2023, it was announced that Joe Graf Jr. would drive at least 28 races for RSS Racing in 2023. He previously drove the majority of the 2022 season for SS-Green Light Racing as well as 1 race for RSS in their No. 38 car, replacing Timmy Hill in that car after he failed to qualify the SSGLR No. 08 into the race at Fontana.[52] Graf Jr. will drive the other five races in the No. 19 Toyota Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing.

  • On March 21, 2023, NASCAR announced that Josh Williams would be suspended for one race (COTA) after his actions at Atlanta where he parked his car in the middle of the track during a caution and walked away, leaving the car on the track after his frustration with NASCAR for parking him during the race for his car leaving multiple pieces of debris on the track. Later in the day, DGM Racing announced that Alex Labbé would fill in for Williams in their No. 92 car in the race at COTA.[20]

  • On December 7, 2022, Jesse Iwuji Motorsports filed a lawsuit against their primary sponsor of the No. 34 car in 2022, Equity Prime Mortgage, for lack of payments to the team. This would be followed by EPM filing a counter-lawsuit against JIM for breach of contract.[113] As a result of the loss of EPM as a sponsor, the team had to reduce their No. 34 car to a part-time schedule in 2023 and cancel plans to expand to a second car.[90]
  • On February 2, 2023, Emerling-Gase Motorsports announced that the National Crime Prevention Council would sponsor their No. 53 car in the season-opener at Daytona. The paint scheme will feature their mascot, McGruff the Crime Dog.[76]
