Race calendar

The 2023 calendar was planned to be held over twelve races spanning across six weekends. [8] Compared to 2022, Buttonwillow Raceway Park joined the schedule, replacing one of the three rounds at Thunderhill Raceway Park. The weekend at Laguna Seca was cancelled mid-weekend due to issues with the newly-resurfaced track, meaning only ten races were held. [9]
