A move to the Chicago street course alongside the NASCAR Cup Series highlights the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule, which NASCAR announced Sept. 14.
Additionally, the secondary series will visit Sonoma Raceway for the first time.
Losing dates are Texas Motor Speedway, which will not field the series in the spring and will return instead for a fall date (usually its second race of the season), and Talladega Superspeedway, which will not run its second event in the fall but will host the circuit in the spring.
“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,” Ben Kennedy, NASCAR svp of racing development and strategy, said in a release. “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.”
