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

William Byron: 10
Byron is clearly on a roll, with two race wins, three stage wins, and 240 laps led in the last eight ꦍdays.
Ryan Blaney: 9
Yet another runner-up re𓆉sult for Blaney, who is s𓂃till searching for that elusive next race win.
Tyler Reddick: 9
This was a major shot in the arm for R�♏�eddick, who has had a dreadful start to the season.

Kyle Larson: 10
Had the caution💝 flag not come out with three 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 ওfour-tire pit stop)ꦜ 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 Gi🌟bbs Racing.
Chase Briscoe: 8
Things started out poorly bܫut Briscoe and the Stewart Haas Racing team were able to make consistent improvements throughout the afternoon to earn a 7th place finish.
Kyle Busch: 7
An issue on pit road tripped them up but they were still able to regain🤡 their composure ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚand earn another top-ten result.
Alex Bowman: 7
It was a൲nother mediocre day for Bowman, while the rest of his teammates were able ꧃to excel in different ways.
Josh Berry: 9
Berry is probably still smiling, earning a top-tenಞ finish in just his second career Cup start.
Joey Logano: 7
Considering how he dominated at this track last fall, ✨an 🅰11th place finish 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 together an ent൲ire race, and a solid finish toও go along with it.
Michael McDowell: 8
This is McDowell’s home track, so earning a solid finish had to feel gౠoo🦋d.

Bubba Wallace: 7
It wasn’t the day that Bubb꧅a envisioned heading into the weekend but the team is improving.
Martin Truex Jr: 6
Penalties and contact on track made for ꦑa rough afternoon for the ♊veteran JGR driver.
Brad Keselowski: 6
After qualifying in Row 2, an 18th place finish for Keselowski i🦹n the race seems like a punch in 🐈the gut.
Erik Jones: 6
He was able to lead 14 laps but when things🌳 cycled back around, he was unable to stay insid🐭e the top 20.
Daniel Suarez: 5
Contact with other drivers and not showing the same speed that his teammate h🌳ad made for a frustrating 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 fr🍰i꧂end Ross Chastain on the final lap saw them both slide down the finishing order.
Ross Chastain: 6
See above. Chastain was primed for another top-five finish bef𒁏ore he 🔯and Hamlin got together.
Austin Cindric: 5
More penalties and not enough speed🦩 for Cindric, who might be going through his sophomore ℱslump.
