The 2023 Sunset Hill Shooting Range 150 was the 10th stock car race of the 2023 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 38th iteration of the event. The race was originally going to be held on Friday, July 21, 2023, but due to rain showers, the race was postponed until Saturday, July 22.

Jesse Love, driving for Venturini Motorsports, would put on a dominating performance, leading a race-high 40 laps, and earning his seventh career ARCA Menards Series win, and his fifth of the season. To fill out the podium, Connor Mosack, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, and Andrés Pérez de Lara, driving for Rev Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

## Background

Pocono Raceway is a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) oval speedway located in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since the early 1970s. Nicknamed "The Tricky Triangle", the speedway has three distinct corners and is known for high speeds along its lengthy straightaways.
From 1982 to 2019, the circuit had two race weekends. In 2020, the circuit was reduced to one race meeting of two races. The first race was moved to World Wide Technology Raceway near St. Louis starting in 2022.
