# 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

The 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series was the 29th season of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season started with the NextEra Energy 250 on February 17 at Daytona International Speedway, and ended with the Craftsman 150 on November 3 at Phoenix Raceway.
This was the first season of the Truck Series with Stanley Black & Decker as the series sponsor. Camping World, the title sponsor of the series from 2009 to 2022, did not renew their title sponsorship of the series. Although the Craftsman brand had sponsored the series from 1995 to 2008, it was under a different company ownership (Sears).
Zane Smith entered the season as the defending champion, returning to the Front Row Motorsports No. 38 truck full-time in 2023 seeking to win a second consecutive championship.
This was also the first season in series history where two drivers with the exact same first and last name who are not related to each other competed together in a Truck Series race. Jason White from Virginia and Jason White from British Columbia, Canada raced against each other in the season-opener at Daytona with the American Jason White driving the No. 1 truck for Tricon Garage in his first Truck Series start since 2014 and the Canadian Jason White driving the No. 34 truck for Reaume Brothers Racing. NASCAR distinguished the two of them on the entry list and race results by using their middle initials.
Corey Heim of Tricon Garage accomplished a rare feat in NASCAR during the season. He was the points leader heading into the 2023 Toyota 200 at Gateway, which he had to miss due to being sick, and after that race, (although only by 1 point) he was still the points leader. At the conclusion of the 2023 Worldwide Express 250 at Richmond, Heim claimed the regular season championship. In addition, Nick Sanchez of Rev Racing won NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors. Ben Rhodes of ThorSport Racing won his second Truck Series championship at season's end.
