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.
This article features a couple of teams that had no driver race every race, JD Motorsports and SS GreenLight Racing.

2023 stats Grade: D-
He got 1 Top 5 finish which is pretty incredible for a tier 3 team, however his in-race stats and overall finishes are just that bad. I mean 47 drivers got a Stage T10 and Poole wasn’t one of them.
- 2023 Playoff Statistics (Avg. Fin. and Driver Rating rank among drivers with 3+ Playoff starts, 40 drivers)

2023 Playoff Grade: F+
He just ran bad in the playoffs, what saved him from a worse grade is that he got 2 Top 20’s and had only the 11th worst Avg. Finish.
- Notable Streaks this year
- none (best was 1 straight)
2023 Streaks Grade: D+
He got 1 straight Top 5 finish, so that counts for something with this tier 3 team so he gets a D+.

2023 Short track Grade: F
These stats are bad, but he did run better than 1% of his laps in the Top 15 and an Avg. Finish better than 30th so that is pretty much why he gets an F instead of F-.
- 2023 Small track Stats (Avg. Fin. rank among drivers with 1+ Small Track start, 53 drivers)
- 4 Races, Avg. Finish 26.5(T31st), 0.62% of Laps ran in Top15, Avg.

2023 Intermediate Grade: F+
He had 0 Top 15’s and ran barely any laps in the Top 15 as well. However, his Avg. Finish and Avg. Driver Rating aren’t horrendous so I gave him an F+.
