NASCAR Chevy Teams Tail Toyota At Bristol September 2023: Video

Toyota was once again the manufacturer to beat at Bristol on September 16th, 2023, as Kyle Larson tried his best to put the No. 5 NASCAR Chevy Camaro ZL1 in Victory Lane, but was unable to catch winner Denny Hamlin.

Larson led 20 of the event’s 500 laps, and surrendered the lead to Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota TRD Camry in a race of Pit Road on Lap 366. Try as he might, Larson’s No. 5 Camaro just didn’t have anything for Hamlin’s dominant No. 11 Camry. He ultimately crossed the line 2.462 seconds behind, settling for second place.

Meanwhile, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., driver of the No. 47 NASCAR Chevy Camaro and this year’s Daytona 500 champion, was one of four drivers eliminated from the Playoffs as the Round of 16 reached its zenith at Bristol. He battled an ill-handling race car on Saturday night, though he was able to salvage a 10th-place finish. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to keep him in the championship running. He was eliminated alongside NASCAR Ford drivers Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick and Michael McDowell.

Looking ahead, Ross Chastain, driver of the No. 1 Camaro enters the Round of 12 three points below the cut line, but he’ll have three races to get his position sorted out before the next cutoff race.
