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

Kyle Larson: 9
The d⛄ecision to take two tires on their final pit stop paid off. Larson 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 the race at the back of the field and was quickly do൲wn 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 Martinsville w🀅ithout Martin.
Denny Hamlin: 9
ไMuch like his teammate, he was strong all day and one o🥃f the cars capable of winning the race.
Chase Briscoe: 8
Briscoe had the best finishing result of the SHR cars, which꧅ clearly had the best pace all weekend.

Aric Almirola: 7
Opportunities were there for t🎃he taking, bu🍸t Almirola was unable to capitalize.
Ryan Blaney: 7
Considering where he started and how his afternoon went, a 7th place finish was far better than this team env🔯isioned.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr: 7
Much like Blaney, the late-race shuffle in the field certainly put th🔴em in a good spot.
Bubba Wallace: 8
Count Bubba as one of the drivers that was legitimately fast all day, b👍ut coul🍸dn’t overcome the gamblers late in the race.
Chase Elliott: 9
A top-ten finishไ after being out of the car for the last six weeks recovering from surgery is quite impressive.
Alex Bowman: 7
Another a💝verage finiꦇsh by the most average of drivers.
Austin Dillon: 6
There werಞe flashes of speed but it ju♎st never clicked for Dillon.
Ross Chastain: 6
Chastain couldn’t use the wall this time, but he still had a solid run throug💎h the fꦛield after starting in the back. It could have been much better had he qualified better on Saturday.
Chris Buescher: 6
Mos𒆙t of the afternoon went well, but he 𒉰faded late in the race.
Ryan Preece: 7
Preece qualified on pole and led the first 136 laps but his dom🏅ination ended there, as a speeding penalty on pit lane ruined his weekend. It was a kick in the gut, and one of those t🥂hings that will weigh heavy on his mind 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 quickly. Another poor result for Suarez, who has been strug🌱gling this season.
Ty Gibbs: 5
Not his best effort,🌳 but ju𓂃st a mediocre run for the rookie.
Kevin Harvick: 8
He won the second s🌄tage and led a lot of laps, but a loose lug nut ruined his chances of winning.

Kyle Busch: 6
Another pit road penalty cost hi൲m a good finish. Rinse and repeat.
Tyler Reddick: 7
A strong day turned south as the race progressed, but Reddick certainly had the speed to 🌠run up front.
William Byron: 7
Byron couldn’t catc☂h a break today, and his result w♛as a clear reflection of that.
Brad Keselowski: 6
It was a rough race for Keselowski, who was stuck in traffic all ♛af꧑ternoon.
AJ Allmendinger: 4
His name was never me🌼ntioned during the race, which🦋 is never a good thing.
Erik Jones: 3
The rough season for Legacy Motor Cl༺ub continued today, with two mo𒐪re poor finishes.
Austin Cindric: 3
It was a day♕ to forget for Cindric, who had nothing poꦇsitive to take away from this race.
