The NASCAR Cup Series season unofficially begins with The Clash inside LA Coliseum on Sunday, then is jumpstarted officially on Feb. 19 with the Daytona 500.
So you have some time to get acclimated to the driver changes and ride switches for 2023, like Kyle Busch in the No. 8 car.
Yeah, it'll take some getting used to that.
Busch's move to Richard Childress Racing is one of several moves in the Cup Series, including the (re?) addition of a 7-time champion on a part-time basis and a sneaky good move from an up-and-coming two-car team.
