NASCAR: Driver Ratings for the 2023 United Rentals 500 at Phoenix Raceway

William Byron: 10
Byron is clearly on a roll, with two race win🌊s, three stage wins, and 240 laps led in the last eight days.
Ryan Blaney: 9
Yet another runner-up re🌳sult for Blaney, who is still searching for that elusive next race win.
Tyler Reddick: 9
This was a major shot in the arm for Reddick, w🙈ho has had a dreadful sta🤪rt to the season.

Kyle Larson: 10
Had the caution flag not come out with th𓄧ree laps to go, Larson had the win all but wrapped up.
Kevin Harvick: 9
His 10th Phoenix victory was in plain sight, but the ill-timed caution (and four-tire pit sto🅠p) cost him the race.
Christopher Bell: 7
Bell’s consistent season marches on with 🀅another solid finish as he continues to carry the flag for Joe Gibbs Racing.
Chase Briscoe: 8
Things started out poorly but Briscoe and the Stewart Haas Racing team were able t🔥o make consistent improvements throughout the afternoon to earn a 7th𝓰 place finish.
Kyle Busch: 7
An issue on pit road tripped them up but they were still able to regai𝓡n theiꦚr composure and earn another top-ten result.
Alex Bowman: 7
It was another mediocre day for Bowman, while the rest of hi𝕴s teammates were able to excel in different ways.
Josh Berry: 9
Berry is 🐼probably still smiling, earning a top-ten finish in just his second career Cup start.
Joey Logano: 7
Considering how he dominated at this track last fall, an 11th place finis⭕h is far better than Logano ran for most of the afternoon.
Ryan Preece: 9
After a shaky first few weeks, Preece was finally able to put togetherꦺ an entire race, and a 🌳solid finish to go along with it.
Michael McDowell: 8
൩This is McDowell’s ho♚me track, so earning a solid finish had to feel good.

Bubba Wallace: 7
It wasn’t the day that B🌠ubba envisioned heading into the weekend but the team is improving.
Martin Truex Jr: 6
Penalties and cont💧act on tr🐎ack made for a rough afternoon for the veteran JGR driver.
Brad Keselowski: 6
After qualifying in Row 2, an 18th place finish for Keselowℱski in the race seems like a punch in the g🐼ut.
Erik Jones: 6
He was able to lead 14 laps but when things cycled back around, he🌸 was unable to s𝐆tay inside the top 20.
Daniel Suarez: 5
Contact with other drivers and not showing the same speed that his teammate had made for a frustratingജ afternoon for the driver of the No. 99 Chevrolet.
Denny Hamlin: 6
Hamlin spent the majority of the race near the front of the field but contact with his good friend Ross Chastain on the final lap saw 🔯them both slide down the finiಌshing order.
Ross Chastain: 6
See above. Chastain was primed for another top-five finish before he and Hamlin got toge👍ther.
Austin Cindric: 5
More penalties 𝓀and not enough speed for Cindric, who might be going th🎶rough his sophomore slump.
