What are the start times and TV networks in the US for 2023 NASCAR season?

With the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season behind us and the off-season in full swing, the governing body has satiated fans' appetite for racing ahead of the 2023 season. Although the sport has gone through its fair share of ups and downs throughout the year, overall the season has been well-received by fans.

The Next Gen car brought in parity, enabling a record 19 different winners in the modern era. Coupled with the global exposure in the form of Trackhouse Racing's Project91 entries amongst others, this has set NASCAR on the rise for next year.

With viewership and TV ratings also on the rise, NBC Sports has announced that it will be airing 10 races next year, one more than in 2022, while FOX Sports is still holding the lion's share at 21. With the addition of newer venues such as the Chicago Street Race as well as the All-Star Race at the resurgent North Wilkesboro Speedway, fans will be treated to old-school as well as newer tracks in equal amounts.

With upcoming safety improvements also coming for the Next Gen NASCAR, next season seems to be one where drivers will finally be let off the hook to race as hard as they can on the track.

The 2022 silly season and its implications for next year are bound to spice things up in the field as long-time Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch attempts to find his feet at Richard Childress Racing, while Tyler Reddick joins Bubba Wallace Jr. at 23XI Racing. 7-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson could also be seen as a part-time driver next year after claiming part ownership of Petty GMS recently.

The Busch Light Clash is set to go live from the LA Memorial Coliseum on February 5th, 2023, at 8:00 pm ET.
