Welcome, in this article series we will be reviewing and rating how each driver in the NASCAR Xfinity series has done in the 2023 season (min. 15 races started). Each part will contain 3-4 drivers and have them grouped by organization/satellite team or car manufacturer/future manufacturer teammate as best as possible. The review will include the drivers 2023 season statistics, along with ranks among drivers in 2023 with season ranking since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight playoff stats, notable streaks accomplished through the year, 2023 Short track (under 1 mile), Small track (1-1.3 mile), intermediate (1.3-1.5 mile), Big track (2-2.5 mile), Road Course, and Superspeedway (drafting tracks) statistics. I will grade each section and give a brief reason why, then give a short overview ending with an overall grade A+ thru F- based on a weighted formula from the grades above. To sum up each team, at the end of their last driver I will give an overall team grade based on the grades for each driver. All grades may take into account underfunded/well-funded cars and experience.
In this article we have a couple more Chevrolet teams, Jordan Anderson Racing and DGM Racing.

2023 stats Grade: B-
He had a win this year, which is good. However, that’s about the only really good thing he has going for him in the stats. His stage stats are especially bad so he gets a B-.
- 2023 Playoff Statistics (Avg. Fin. and Driver Rating rank among drivers with 3+ Playoff starts, 40 drivers)
- 7 Races, Avg. Finish 20.14(20th), 32.33% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg.

2023 Playoff Grade: C-
Once again his stage stats really weren’t good, neither was his Laps in Top 15%. However, he got 1 Top 10 and finished over half his races in the Top 20 so he gets a C-.
- Notable Streaks this year
- none (best was 1 straight)
2023 Streaks Grade: D-
Normally no streaks over 1 is an F, but he did have 6 one race Top 10 “streaks” so that’s not F worthy.
- 2023 Short track Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Short Track start, 56 drivers)
- 4 Races, Avg. Finish 12.0(T10th), 41.1% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 68.4(22nd), Best 9th, Worst 14th, Laps Completed 100%, Led 0.00% of laps he ran, 0 Wins, 0 Poles, 0 Top 3’s, 0 Top 5’s, 1 Top 10, 4 Top 15’s, 0 Finishes out of Top 20, 0 DNF’s, 0 Stage Wins, 0.00 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Short track Grade: C+
He was one of just 2 drivers to get a Top 15 in every Short track race, but he got 0 Stage Pts, ran just 41% of his laps in the Top 15, and had just 1 Top 10. So C+ is fitting.
- 2023 Small track Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Small Track start, 53 drivers)
- 4 Races, Avg. Finish 14.75(18th), 49.01% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 74.1(18th), Best 7th, Worst 22nd, Laps Completed 99.75%, Led 0.00% of laps he ran, 0 Wins, 0 Poles, 0 Top 3’s, 0 Top 5’s, 1 Top 10, 2 Top 15’s, 1 Finish out of Top 20, 0 DNF’s, 0 Stage Wins, 0.00 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Small track Grade: C

- 9 Races, Avg. Finish 16.56(24th), 38.79% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg.

2023 Intermediate Grade: C
He had just 1 Top 10, but most of his finishes were in the Top 15. However, he got 0 Stage Pts, but what saved him from a C- was that he had just 2 finishes out of the Top 20.
- 2023 Big track Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Big Track start, 53 drivers)
- 3 Races, Avg. Finish 14.67(T16th), 30.25% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg.

2023 Big track Grade: C-
What hurt his grade yet again was no Stage Pts and his poor Laps in Top 15%. What helped him avoid a D was his 1 Top 10, 2 Top 15’s, and decent Avg. Driver Rating.
- 2023 Road Course Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Road Course start, 66 drivers)
- 8 Races, Avg. Finish 20.38(27th), 38.57% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg.

2023 Road Course Grade: D+
He actually had Stage Pts at Road Courses, but he had just 2 Top 15’s in 8 races. That’s not that good. So, his finishes are what really hurt him and got him a D+.
- 2023 Superspeedway Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Superspeedway start, 59 drivers)
- 5 Races, Avg. Finish 10.6(7th), 40.12% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 81.16(16th), Best 1st, Worst 16th, Laps Completed 100%, Led 2.47% of laps he ran, 1 Win, 0 Poles, 1 Top 3, 1 Top 5, 1 Top 10, 4 Top 15’s, 0 Finishes out of Top 20, 0 DNF’s, 1 Stage Win, 2.4 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Superspeedway Grade: B+

2023 stats Grade: C
For a rookie with a tier 2 team his stats aren’t bad, but they are also not good. This is especially the case for his stages, so he gets a C.
- 2023 Playoff Statistics (Avg. Fin. and Driver Rating rank among drivers with 3+ Playoff starts, 40 drivers)
- 7 Races, Avg. Finish 16.14(T14th), 54.14% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg.

2023 Playoff Grade: C+
His Avg. Finish is really not too bad, neither is his Avg. Driver Rating, and he ran over half his laps in the Top 15. However, he had only 1 Top 10 and 1 Stage T10 so he gets a C+.
- Notable Streaks this year
- none (best was 1 straight)
2023 Streaks Grade: D-
He, like his teammate above, had no streaks over 1, but he had 7 one race Top 10 “streaks” so I gave him the same grade.
- 2023 Short track Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Short Track start, 56 drivers)
- 4 Races, Avg. Finish 12.25(13th), 58.01% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg.

2023 Short track Grade: B-
I compared him to Kaz Grala who was in his first full year in a tier 2 team as well. Retzlaff has a better Avg. Finish and Laps in Top 15%, but a worse Avg. Driver Rating and Top 5/10’s so they get the same grade.
- 2023 Small track Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Small Track start, 53 drivers)
- 4 Races, Avg. Finish 19.75(24th), 27.43% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 66.4(21st), Best 13th, Worst 31st, Laps Completed 97.9%, Led 0.25% of laps he ran, 0 Wins, 0 Poles, 0 Top 3’s, 0 Top 5’s, 0 Top 10’s, 1 Top 15, 1 Finish out of Top 20, 1 DNF, 0 Stage Wins, 1.13 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Small track Grade: D+
His Laps in Top 15% is pretty bad, but his Avg. Finish and Avg. Driver Rating aren’t too bad. In addition he got 1 Top 15 and 1.13 Stage Pts Per Stage so I gave him a D+.
- 2023 Intermediate Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Intermediate Track start, 74 drivers)
- 9 Races, Avg. Finish 17.44(28th), 49.91% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 71.43(29th), Best 6th, Worst 37th, Laps Completed 93.68%, Led 0.5% of laps he ran, 0 Wins, 0 Poles, 0 Top 3’s, 0 Top 5’s, 2 Top 10’s, 6 Top 15’s, 3 Finishes out of Top 20, 1 DNF, 0 Stage Wins, 0.39 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Intermediate Grade: C+
His in-race stats aren’t all that bad as he ran almost half his laps in the Top 15 and led laps. In addition he had 6 Top 15’s, but what kept him from a B- was his just 2 Top 10’s.
- 2023 Big track Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Big Track start, 53 drivers)
- 3 Races, Avg. Finish 21.33(28th), 14.21% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 61.77(26th), Best 9th, Worst 35th, Laps Completed 97.82%, Led 0.00% of laps he ran, 0 Wins, 0 Poles, 0 Top 3’s, 0 Top 5’s, 1 Top 10, 1 Top 15, 1 Finish out of Top 20, 0 DNF’s, 0 Stage Wins, 0.00 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Big track Grade: D
He had 1 Top 10, but he also ran only 14% of his laps in the Top 15. Top this off with 0 Stage Pts and a below average Avg. Driver Rating and you get a D.
- 2023 Road Course Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Road Course start, 66 drivers)
- 8 Races, Avg. Finish 22.5(36th), 8.86% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 58.41(33rd), Best 14th, Worst 38th, Laps Completed 87.37%, Led 0.00% of laps he ran, 0 Wins, 0 Poles, 0 Top 3’s, 0 Top 5’s, 0 Top 10’s, 1 Top 15, 4 Finishes out of Top 20, 1 DNF, 0 Stage Wins, 0.25 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Road Course Grade: D-
The reasons for the low grade are simple. Even for a rookie on a tier 2 team his Laps in Top 15% is terrible, his Avg. Driver Rating is not good, and his Avg. Driver Rating is even worse.
- 2023 Superspeedway Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Superspeedway start, 59 drivers)
- 5 Races, Avg. Finish 12.2(9th), 40.21% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg. Driver Rating 73.98(22nd), Best 4th, Worst 27th, Laps Completed 98.69%, Led 0.29% of laps he ran, 0 Wins, 0 Poles, 0 Top 3’s, 1 Top 5, 3 Top 10’s, 3 Top 15’s, 1 Finish out of Top 20, 1 DNF, 0 Stage Wins, 0.1 Stage Pts Per Stage
2023 Superspeedway Grade: B-
What kept him from a better grade is that he had very few Stage Pts and ran a not good percentage of his laps in the Top 15. However, he got 3 Top 10’s and the 9th best Avg. Finish so he gets a B-.

2023 stats Grade: D
He’s in a tier 3 car and had 3 Top 10’s with a decent-ish Avg. Finish, but what hurt him were his very poor in-race stats. That’s why even with 3 Top 10’s he gets a D.

2023 Playoff Grade: D
What almost got him a D+ was the fact he didn’t finish many races out of the Top 20, but his in-race stats are just so bad that he gets another D.
- Notable Streaks this year
- 2 straight Top 10 finishes
2023 Streaks Grade: C+
