SiriusXM, a long-time partner of Toyota Racing Development, announced on Wednesday that the company will serve as a multi-race primary sponsor of entries from both the manufacturer’s full-time teams in 2023.

The company will partner with Christopher Bell and Joe Gibbs Racing to adorn the No. 20 Toyota Camry TRD in back-to-back races at Auto Club Speedway (February) and Las Vegas Motor Speedway (March).

Additionally, SiriusXM will serve as a three-race primary sponsor of 23XI Racing’s newest driver, Tyler Reddick, with the company being displayed on the No. 45 Toyota Camry TRD at Richmond (April), Darlington (May), and Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Road Course (August).

Myatt Snider Competing in Six Xfinity Series Event for Joe Gibbs Racing

Myatt Snider, who has spent the last three seasons as a full-time driver in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, will find himself scaling back to part-time competition in 2023, competing in select events for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Snider will make his debut with Joe Gibbs Racing in the season-opening event at Daytona International Speedway, where he’ll get behind the wheel of the team’s third entry, the No. 19 Toyota GR Supra.

A winner in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Snider will then round out his six-race campaign in the No. 19 at Portland, Charlotte’s ROVAL, Las Vegas, Martinsville, and Phoenix.

“With six races on our 2023 schedule, I’m looking forward to climbing into the cockpit with Joe Gibbs Racing this year,” said Snider. “Having worked for JGR as a high schooler and a young racer, it’s an awesome full-circle moment to return as a driver to the team that has taught me so much about racing itself.”
