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

William Byron: 10
Byron is clearly on a roll, wit𝕴h two race wins, three stage wins, and 240 laps led in the last eight days.
Ryan Blaney: 9
Yet another runner-up result for Blaney, who is still searching for that elusive next raꦛce win.
Tyler Reddick: 9
This was a major shot in the arm for Reddick, whoꩲ🍸 has had a dreadful start to the season.

Kyle Larson: 10
Had the caution flꦡag 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 four-tire pit stop) ❀cost him the race.
Christopher Bell: 7
Bell’s consiste༺nt 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 to make co𒉰nsistent improvements throughout the afternoon to earn a 7th place fi♏nish.
Kyle Busch: 7
An issue on pit road tripped them up but theyꦯ were still able 🍌to regain their composure and earn another top-ten result.
Alex Bowman: 7
It was another 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-ten ♋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 after🅺noon.
Ryan Preece: 9
After 🧔a shaky first few weeks, Preece was finally able to put together an entire rac🌊e, and a solid finish to go along with it.
Michael McDowell: 8
This is McDowell’s home tra♌ck, so earning a solid finish had to feel good.

Bubba Wallace: 7
It wasn’t the day that Bubba envisioned heading ✨into the weekend but the team ✃is improving.
Martin Truex Jr: 6
Penalties and contact on track 🌊made for a rough afternoon for the🌼 veteran JGR driver.
Brad Keselowski: 6
Aft🍬er qualifying in Row 2, an 18th place finish for Keselowski in the race seems lik🉐e 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 st🐼ay inside the top 20.
Daniel Suarez: 5
Contact with ot൲her drivers and not showing the same speed that his teammate had made for a frustrating afternoon for the driver of th🔯e 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 sli�🧔�de down the finishing order.
Ross Chastain: 6
See above. Chastain𒁃 was primed for another top-five finish before he and Hamlin got together.
Austin Cindric: 5
More🐭 penalties and not🍒 enough speed for Cindric, who might be going through his sophomore slump.
