The 2023 SoFi All-Star Shootout at the Coliseum was a NASCAR Touring Series race held on February 4, 2023 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. Contested over 125 laps and 31.25-miles (50.292 km), it was the first, and only, exhibition race of the 2022 NASCAR Touring Series season. ReportFormat and eligibilityLike the previous year's all-star race, the 2023 All-Star Shootout is open to pole sitters and race winners from the 2022 season with no past champion provisional. The event itself will consist of a 25-lap qualifying dash to set the starting lineup with the top eight finishers beginning in reverse order for the 100-lap main event. The 2023 All-Star Shootout will not have a predetermined number of cars with the field size dependent on the above criteria.Entry listNineteen drivers are eligible to participate in this event, although only fifteen are expected to start due to two retirements at the end of the 2022 season and two drivers not having contracts for 2023.
