NASCAR: Driver Rankings For The 2023 NOCO 400 at Martinsville Speedway

Kyle Larson: 9
The decision to take two tires on their final pi⛦t stop paid off. ﷺLarson was fast enough, but he was far from the best car on track today.
Joey Logano: 9
It was an outstanding result for Logano, who started th𒐪e race at the back of the field and was quickly down a lap to the leaders. Their gamble to not pit at all on the final sequence was the right call.
Martin Truex Jr: 9
Another strong run for Truex, who always performs well here. You can’t spell Mart🌌insville without Martin.
Denny Hamlin: 9
Much like his teammate, he was strong all dayಌ and one of the cars capable of winning the race.
Chase Briscoe: 8
Briscoe had the best finishing result of the SHR cars, which clearly h✱ad✅ the best pace all weekend.

Aric Almirola: 7
Opportunities were there for the taking, but Almirola was unable to capi♍🔜talize.
Ryan Blaney: 7
Considering where he started and how his afternoon went, a 7th pl🐠ace finish was far better than this team envisioned.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr: 7
Much like Blaney, the late-race shuffle in ♔the field certainly put them in ꧋a good spot.
Bubba Wallace: 8
Count Bubba as one of the drivers🍨 th🎃at was legitimately fast all day, but couldn’t overcome the gamblers late in the race.
Chase Elliott: 9
A top-ten ꦛfinish after being out o൲f the car for the last six weeks recovering from surgery is quite impressive.
Alex Bowman: 7
Another average finish☂ by 👍the most average of drivers.
Austin Dillon: 6
There♈🤪 were flashes of speed but it just never clicked for Dillon.
Ross Chastain: 6
Chastain couldn’t use the wall this time, but he still had a solid run through the field after starting in the back. It could have been much better haꦓd he qualified bꦿetter on Saturday.
Chris Buescher: 6
Most of the afte🌳rnoon went well, but he faded late in the race.
Ryan Preece: 7
Preece qualified on pole and led the first 136 laps but his domination ended there, as a speeding penalty on pit lane ru♎ined his weekend. It was a kick in the gut, and one of those things that will weigh heavy on his m✅ind over the coming weeks.
Christopher Bell: 5
🐲It was an odd weekend altogether for Bell, who many expected to be much better here.
Daniel Suarez: 5
He started on the front row and faded quickl♌y. Another poor result for Suarez, who has been struggling this sea🌱son.
Ty Gibbs: 5
Not ♕his best effort, but just a mediocre run for the rookie.
Kevin Harvick: 8
He won the second st🐟age and led a lot of laps, but a loose lug nut ruined his chances of winning.

Kyle Busch: 6
Another pit road penalty cost him a good finish. Rinse and repe🅺a🌺t.
Tyler Reddick: 7
A stro🍌ng day turned 🦹south as the race progressed, but Reddick certainly had the speed to run up front.
William Byron: 7
Byron ⛄couldn’t catch a break today, and his result was a clear reflection of that.
Brad Keselowski: 6
It was a rough race for Keselowski, who was stuck in traffic 🍰all afternoon.
AJ Allmendinger: 4
His name was never menti💫oned during the race, which is never a ♒good thing.
Erik Jones: 3
The ൩rough season for Legacy Motor Club continued today, with two more poor finishe✱s.
Austin Cindric: 3
It was a day to forget for Cindric, who had nothing posit♕ive to take away from 💧this race.
