  • On July 15, 2022, Petty GMS Motorsports (now Legacy Motor Club) announced that Ty Dillon would not return to the No. 42 in 2023. [88] On August 10, 2022, Noah Gragson was announced to replace Dillon, having signed a two-year contract with LMC. [89] [90] On June 8, 2023, LMC announced that Gragson would not run the race at Sonoma due to experiencing concussion-like symptoms after his crash in the previous week's race at Gateway. Grant Enfinger, who drives for LMC co-owner Maury Gallagher's GMS Racing team in the Truck Series, filled in for Gragson in the No. 42 car and made his Cup Series debut. [15] It was Enfinger's first Cup Series attempt since 2011, when he failed to qualify for the season-finale at Homestead driving for Sinica Motorsports in the team's only attempt. On August 5, 2023, LMC announced that Gragson was suspended after he liked an offensive image on social media related to the murder of George Floyd in 2020, one day before the scheduled Cup Series race at Michigan, with NASCAR suspending him indefinitely as well. Legacy Motor Club announced later that day that Josh Berry would fill in for Gragson at Michigan. [16] Mike Rockenfeller was announced as the driver of the No. 42 at Indianapolis and Watkins Glen. [18] On August 10, 2023, Gragson requested to be released from his contract with LMC so he can focus on the reinstatement process. [91] Carson Hocevar was announced as the driver of the No. 42 at Darlington, Kansas, and the Bristol night race. [92] On September 12, NASCAR lifted Gragson's suspension after he completed diversity and inclusion training; he has yet to announce his plans following his reinstatement. [93] On October 4, Hocevar was signed to drive the No. 42 for the final four races. [94] On October 15, it was announced that John Hunter Nemechek would drive the No. 42 at Homestead. [20]
  • After suffering a concussion in qualifying for the 2022 race at Pocono, Kurt Busch announced on October 15, 2022, that he would not run full-time in 2023. Tyler Reddick, who was set to join the team in 2024, [95] will move over from Richard Childress Racing a year earlier and replace Busch in the No. 45. After his move to 23XI for 2024 was announced, Reddick was going to return to RCR for one more year [96] [97] [98] but was bought out of his last year of his contract in order to replace Busch in the No. 45 in 2023. [32] (Busch has a multi-year deal with 23XI [99] and will stay with the team in an advisory role and could drive part-time for the team once he gets cleared to race again). [100] On August 26, 2023, Busch formally announced his retirement from Cup Series racing. [101]
  • On August 26, 2022, although Aric Almirola announced he would retire from driving full-time after the 2022 season, he announced that he has signed a multi-year deal with Stewart-Haas Racing, delaying his retirement. [102]
  • After months of rumors and speculation over his 2023 plans and contract negotiations with Joe Gibbs Racing, Kyle Busch announced that he would leave JGR and join Richard Childress Racing beginning in 2023 in a multi-year deal. Busch will replace Tyler Reddick, who was originally announced to drive a third RCR car in 2023 before leaving for 23XI Racing in 2024, but after Kurt Busch's decision to not run full-time after his concussion, Reddick's contract was bought out by 23XI Racing, allowing him to go to 23XI a year early. [31]
  • On November 15, 2022, it was announced that Ty Gibbs would replace Busch and the car would be renumbered to the No. 54, the number Gibbs used in the Xfinity Series. Gibbs' Xfinity Series crew chief, Chris Gayle, will also move up to the Cup Series, replacing Ben Beshore. [70]
  • On October 3, 2022, Beard Motorsports owner Linda Beard told Dustin Albino from Jayski that the team will enter the 2023 Daytona 500. Noah Gragson will not return to this car in 2023 as he will drive the Petty GMS No. 42 car full-time. [103] On October 28, 2022, the team announced that Austin Hill, who drives full-time for Richard Childress Racing in the Xfinity Series, would drive the car in seven races (both Daytona and both Talladega races, Atlanta, Michigan and the Charlotte Roval in 2023). [71]
  • On October 3, 2022, Jordan Bianchi from The Athletic reported that A.J. Allmendinger, who has driven this car part-time as well as Kaulig's No. 16 Xfinity Series car full-time, would drive the No. 16 Cup Series car full-time in 2023. It would be his first full season in the Cup Series since 2018. [104] On October 5, 2022, Allmendinger was officially announced as the full-time driver of the No. 16. [105] Matt Swiderski will return as crew chief. [12]
  • On November 16, 2022, Stewart-Haas Racing announced that Ryan Preece will replace Cole Custer in the No. 41 in 2023 while Custer will move back to the Xfinity Series. [106]
  • On December 12, 2022, Josh Bilicki was announced to drive the No. 78 on a part-time schedule. [107]
  • On January 31, 2023, Rick Ware Racing announced that Riley Herbst had signed to drive the No. 15 at the 2023 Daytona 500. [44]
  • On February 7, 2023, Front Row Motorsports announced that Zane Smith will attempt to make the 2023 Daytona 500 in the No. 36. In addition, Smith will drive the No. 38 at Phoenix, Talladega,Charlotte, Sonoma, Texas, and the Charlotte Roval, sharing the ride with Todd Gilliland. [41]
  • On March 3, 2023, Chase Elliott suffered a leg injury while snowboarding in Colorado. JR Motorsports Xfinity Series driver Josh Berry would substitute for him in the Hendrick Motorsports No. 9 car in the race at Las Vegas two days later. [5] On March 7, 2023, Hendrick announced that Berry would continue to fill in for Elliott in the No. 9 for five of the next six races. The only one of those six where he will not be in the car is the race at COTA, where IMSA driver Jordan Taylor will make his NASCAR debut filling in for Elliott. Taylor was teammates with Hendrick Motorsports Vice Chairman Jeff Gordon in the 2017 24 Hours of Daytona which they won. [6] On May 30, 2023, NASCAR suspended Elliott for one race after deliberately wrecking Denny Hamlin at Charlotte. Corey LaJoie was announced to be driving the No. 9 at Gateway, with Craftsman Truck Series regular Carson Hocevar making his series debut in the No. 7 for Spire Motorsports, taking LaJoie's regular place. [7] [35]
  • On March 8, 2023, Trackhouse Racing announced that 2007 Formula One World Champion Kimi Räikkönen would return to the No. 91 at COTA. Räikkönen previously drove the No. 91 at Watkins Glen in 2022. He also scored his final F1 victory at COTA in 2018. [77] On May 18, three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen was announced to drive the No. 91 at the Chicago street race. [108]
  • On March 9, 2023, Kaulig Racing announced that dirt track racing driver Jonathan Davenport would drive their No. 13 car at the Bristol dirt race.

  • On March 9, 2023, it was announced that 2009 Formula One World Champion Jenson Button would drive the Rick Ware Racing No. 15 in a collaboration with Stewart-Haas Racing at Circuit of the Americas, the Chicago Street Course, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. [47]
  • On April 8, 2023, Cody Ware stated that he will not be driving the Rick Ware Racing No. 51 at the Bristol dirt race. He was substituted by Truck Series driver Matt Crafton for the race. [109] On April 10, 2023, Ware was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR after being arrested and charged with a felony assault by strangulation as well as a misdemeanor assault on a woman in Iredell County, North Carolina. [110] On April 12, 2023, Rick Ware Racing announced that Zane Smith would drive the No. 51 at Martinsville. [111] On May 5, 2023, Rick Ware Racing announced that Ryan Newman will drive the No. 51 in select races in 2023, starting with Darlington. [50]

[48] He will take over the No. 15 car for Sonoma, Watkins Glen, and the Roval, and the No. 51 car for the Chicago Street Course and the Indy Road Course, [51] due to Jenson Button already being scheduled to drive the No. 15 car at those tracks. [47]
  • On June 7, 2023, it was announced that multi-time FIA World Endurance champion and 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Kamui Kobayashi would drive the No. 67 for 23XI Racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course. [84]

  • On July 25, 2023, Spire Motorsports announced that Kevin Bellicourt would be replaced as the crew chief of the team's No. 77 car driven by Ty Dillon due to poor performance from the team in comparison to their other car, the No. 7 driven by Corey LaJoie. Kevin Manion, the crew chief of Spire's Xfinity Series No. 77 car and Truck Series No. 7 truck, was announced as the interim crew chief of the No. 77 car for the rest of the year except for the race at Daytona where he will be at the Milwaukee Mile on the same weekend crew chiefing in the Truck Series race. [36]
  • On August 28, 2023, Team Penske announced that Jeremy Bullins, the crew chief of their No. 2 car driven by Austin Cindric, and Brian Wilson, the crew chief of the Penske-aligned Wood Brothers Racing No. 21 car driven by Harrison Burton, would switch cars for the rest of the season starting at Darlington in September after both cars failed to qualify for the 2023 playoffs. Wilson and Cindric reunite after the two of them won the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship for Penske and Bullins reunites with the Wood Brothers after previously working as the team's crew chief when Ryan Blaney drove the No. 21 car from 2015 to 2017. [60]

Interim crew chiefs

  • On March 15, 2023, NASCAR suspended all four Hendrick Motorsports crew chiefs (Cliff Daniels, Alan Gustafson, Rudy Fugle and Blake Harris) as well as Kaulig Racing No. 31 car crew chief Trent Owens for four races (Atlanta, COTA, Richmond, and the Bristol dirt race) after it was discovered during practice for the race at Phoenix in March that the hood louvers on all five cars were illegally modified. As a result, each team received an L2 penalty. [2] On March 16, Kaulig announced that they would appeal the penalty and Owens' suspension was deferred until after the appeal date. [13] On March 15, Hendrick announced that they would appeal the penalty but would choose to not delay their crew chiefs' suspensions until after the appeal date. The next day, the team announced their interim crew chiefs: [3]
    • Kevin Meendering will crew chief the No. 5. He returns to the same role he had in four races in 2022 when Cliff Daniels was suspended. He was also Jimmie Johnson's permanent crew chief for part of the 2019 season.
    • Tom Gray will crew chief the No. 9. He is the car's engineer and was also the interim crew chief for it at Watkins Glen in 2021 when Alan Gustafson was suspended.
    • Brian Campe will crew chief the No. 24. He works as a technical director for Hendrick and was also the crew chief for the JR Motorsports No. 5 car in what is now the Xfinity Series in 2009.
    • Greg Ives will crew chief the No. 48. He was the previously the permanent crew chief of the car until the end of the 2022 season, stepping down from the job for a non-crew chiefing job at Hendrick that would allow him to spend more time with his family.
  • On April 6, 2023, NASCAR announced another penalty to Hendrick Motorsports as William Byron's No. 24 car and Alex Bowman's No. 48 car were found to have illegally modified greenhouse areas (the car's roof as well as the front and back windows) after the race at Richmond. Interim crew chiefs Brian Campe and Greg Ives were suspended for two races (Martinsville and Talladega, and not the next race, the Bristol dirt race, due to the penalty being announced late). Hendrick chose not to appeal the penalty. The permanent crew chiefs of those cars, Rudy Fugle for the No. 24 and Blake Harris for the No. 48, would return at Martinsville after their four race suspensions ended, so the team did not need to have third-string crew chiefs for both cars. [117]
  • On April 19, 2023, NASCAR announced that Keith Rodden, the crew chief of the No. 3 car for Richard Childress Racing driven by Austin Dillon, would be suspended for two races (as part of an L1 penalty) after the team's car from the race at Martinsville was found to have an improperly assembled underwing when the car was taken to their R&D Center after the race. [29] Although RCR appealed the penalty, they chose not to delay Rodden's suspension until after the appeal date. Justin Alexander, who was the permanent crew chief of the No. 3 car in 2022 and now works as RCR's director of vehicle performance, returned to served as the car's interim crew chief at Talladega and Dover. [30]
  • On May 12, 2023, NASCAR ejected 23XI Racing No. 45 car crew chief Billy Scott at Darlington after his car, driven by Tyler Reddick, failed pre-qualifying inspection twice. Dave Rogers, the performance director for 23XI, was the interim crew chief for the No. 45 car at Darlington. [64]
  • On May 31, 2023, NASCAR issued an L3 penalty to Chase Briscoe and the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing team after a counterfeit part was found on the car after it was taken to the NASCAR R&D Center after the Coca-Cola 600. Crew chief Johnny Klausmeier was suspended for the next six races (Gateway, Sonoma, Nashville, the Chicago Street Course, Atlanta and New Hampshire) [56] The team decided not to appeal the penalty and the team's performance director, Mike Bugarewicz, was announced as the interim crew chief for those six races. [57]
  • On June 7, 2023, NASCAR issued an L1 penalty to Erik Jones and the No. 43 Legacy Motor Club team after an illegally modified greenhouse area was found on their Gateway car after it was taken to the NASCAR R&D Center. On that day, the team had not yet decided if they would appeal the penalty but did decide that they would start crew chief Dave Elenz's two race suspension and Joey Cohen, the team's Vice President of Race Operations, would be the interim crew chief at Sonoma. [23] [24] The team did eventually decide to appeal the penalty and Elenz was the crew chief of the No. 43 car at Nashville. After the team lost their appeal, Danny Efland, the No. 43 car's engineer, would be the interim crew chief at the Chicago Street Course when Elenz served the second race of his suspension.
  • On August 20, 2023, Rodney Childers announced that he would not crew chief the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 4 driven by Kevin Harvick at Watkins Glen due to a family emergency that took place the morning before the race. Stephen Doran served as the interim crew chief for the race. [54]
