2023 DoorDash 250
The 2023 DoorDash 250 was the 14th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the inaugural iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, June 10, 2023, in Sonoma, California at Sonoma Raceway, a 1.99 miles (3.20 km) permanent road course. The race took the scheduled 79 laps to complete. Aric Almirola, driving for RSS Racing, would score the upset win, after taking advantage of a pit road strategy, leading the final 15 laps of the race to earn his fourth career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, his first of the season, and the first NASCAR win for RSS Racing. Kyle Larson dominated nearly the entire race, winning both stages and leading a race-high 53 laps, but ultimately fell back and finished third. To fill out the podium, A. J. Allmendinger, driving for Kaulig Racing, and Larson, driving for Hendrick Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
