Monday is set to be a busy afternoon of NASCAR racing, with both the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Cup Series on tap. However, one driver has decided to turn his focus to the big show, the Coca-Cola 600.
Kyle Busch, scheduled to make his third Xfinity Series start of 2023 at Charlotte, will step out of the Kaulig Racing No. 10 for the Alsco Uniforms 300, paving the way for Justin Haley to take over the driving duties of the vehicle.
Haley, along with Ty Gibbs, will attempt to complete 900 miles, without a single blunder, and maybe even with a trip - or two - to victory lane.
