By Asher Fair
There are 33 drivers who are set to compete full-time during the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. Here is a full list of those drivers.
The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season is officially scheduled to get underway later next Sunday afternoon with the 65th annual Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, but action got underway this past Sunday evening with the Busch Light Clash preseason exhibition race at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Last season, there were 32 full-time drivers, though five of them missed starts throughout the 36-race season.
This season, there are set to be 33, as two entries which had been fielded for multiple drivers are now set to be driven by a single full-time driver, and one entry which had been fielded for one driver is now set to be shared by two.
