So far we are 3 races into the 2023 season and have seen 3 different winners.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr : Daytona 500
Kyle Busch : Auto Club
William Byron : Las Vegas
It's still way to early to assume anyone will be a lock to win the championship, but we have our strong suitors we believe in.
First up, Kyle Busch. He moved to RCR with a whole new outlook on racing. Already with a win, Kyle seems like he is on a hunt to prove all the doubters wrong. Simply put, Kyle Busch is one of the best drivers in the field and if he can win in the playoffs where it matters most, he is a heavy favorite to be in the final 4.
Next, from the number 5 team it's Kyle Larson. Kyle Larson a recent champion has proven time and time again he has what it takes to run up front. This year he will be the front man at Hendrick while Chase Elliott is out with a leg injury. Kyle is strong at so many different tracks and at times seems unbeatable, it puts him in strong favor to be in the final 4.
Will he do it again? Joey Logano is always one of the series best whether you love or hate him. Joey will have to have another great playoff run to get there but the driver of the number 22 always finds a way to keep going. Joey can easily muster a 4-5 win regular season in hopes to defend his throne
Last but not least, anyone. No, no one in the field is named 'anyone' but the last spot in the final 4 is anyones to claim. Will Ricky have a miracle run? Will Christopher Bell be in it? Will Denny get his championship? Will Harvick win in his last year? Will Chase come back mid season and pull a Kyle? Will Alex Bowman or William Byron make Hendrick unstoppable? Will a Trackhouse driver find his way in? All these questions and still its hard to say which one will be the answer.
So with much of the season to go, who do you think will win it all?
Focusing on the short term though, our prediction for this Sundays race at Phoenix Raceway is that Kyle Larson will get his first win of the 2023 season.
Next Race: Ruoff Mortgage 500, Phoenix Raceway, 3:30PM EST, Live on FOX.
