NASCAR Chevy Teams Not A Threat During Xfinity Martinsville April 2023: Video

Only two NASCAR Chevy Camaro race cars led laps during the Xfinity Series race at Martinsville Speedway on April 15th, 2023, and all The Bow Tie could do was chase a pair of Toyotas and a Ford across the finish line at the end of the night.

Josh Berry, driver of the No. 8 NASCAR Chevy, scored his first top-five finish of the 2023 Xfinity Series season, though it wasn’t the result he’d hoped to gain after leading for 27 laps. He crossed the line in fourth, just ahead of his teammate, Brandon Jones, in the No. 9 Camaro.

Meanwhile, Justin Allgaier finished sixth in the No. 7 Camaro, followed by Daniel Hemric’s No. 11 Camaro and Derek Kraus’s No. 10 Camaro, respectively. Chandler Smith’s No. 16 Camaro rounded out a Bow Tie-dominant top 10 finishers, although this result may not seem all that impressive compared to that of the winner.

The only other NASCAR Chevy to lead was the No. 21 Camaro of Austin Hill, who had control of the field for eight laps total.

John Hunter Nemechek led 198 of 250 laps during the event, putting on a clinic as he raced to victory.
