16 drivers make up the NASCAR Cup Series playoff field, led by regular-season champion Martin Truex Jr. and William Byron, who has a series-leading five wins this season. A victory by a playoff driver this Sunday at Darlington will automatically clinch them a spot in the Round of 12.

With only two races remaining in the season, Alex Palou is looking to close out his second NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship in the last three years. Palou leads Chip Ganassi Racing teammate and six-time series champ Scott Dixon by 74 points, following Dixon’s back-to-back wins on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course and World Wide Technology Raceway. With a variety of points scenarios in play, Palou can clinch the 2023 season title if he leads Dixon by at least 55 points heading into the finale at Laguna Seca on Sept. 10.

Both the NASCAR Cup Series and NTT INDYCAR SERIES are enjoying ratings milestones across NBC Sports properties. This is currently NBC Sports’ most-watched NASCAR Cup Series year since 2017, and with two races remaining in the season, this is INDYCAR’s most-watched season since 2008.

2023 NASCAR SEASON PREVIEW MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS

NBC Sports NASCAR analysts Dale Earnhardt Jr., Dale Jarrett, Jeff Burton, Steve Letarte, and NBC Sports Executive Producer Sam Flood previewed the upcoming second half of the 2023 NASCAR season on a media conference yesterday. Below are selected quotes. Click here for a full transcript.

Earnhardt Jr. on Nashville Superspeedway: “Going to Nashville for the first race…the track itself has produced some really, really great racing. I’m excited.”

Jarrett on the inaugural Chicago Street Race: “It has the opportunity to be one of the biggest events that NASCAR has had in a long, long time…the whole setting is just going to be spectacular (and) I really believe that we’re going to see some good racing on top of everything else.”

Flood: “It’s the ultimate challenge to be the first people to televise a race at a course that’s never been televised before…we’re excited, confident, and really eager to showcase the city of Chicago, the sport of NASCAR, and the opportunity to grow the sport to a new audience on an American celebration weekend.”

Burton on the uniqueness of what the Chicago race will present for drivers: “The first time they see it is the first time anyone sees it. I think that’s awesome. I think the more things we can throw at our drivers and throw at our teams to get them out of their comfort zone, it raises their level and it shows us who the very best are in certain situations.”

Letarte on the first half of the 2023 season: “Last year it was about the number of winners. This year it’s about the lack of dominance. While the number of winners may be a little less, the amount of cars running in the top five or top 10 are not. We’ve never seen a points race this close. Seven cars within 32 points. That’s less than a race. Leaving Nashville, the guy in seventh could be the points leader. It’s quite unbelievable.”

Earnhardt Jr.: “It’s been a fascinating year. I’m sure that that is going to, as it does every year, kind of crescendo and build as we get closer to the Playoffs. The pressure will mount. The risk taking will increase. The excitement that that creates for us will be plentiful.”
