2023 NASCAR Grant Park 220 at Chicago Street Course Driver Ratings
Shane Van Gisbergen: 10
There is no other acceptable rating here - the guy just came in and kicked ass in his first ever NASCAR race.
Justin Haley: 10
A runner-up finish for Haley, who continues to be one of the most underrated drivers in the series.
Chase Elliott: 8
There were plenty of crashes this weekend but with a little luck, Chase was able to get up front and collect some extremely valuable points.
Kyle Larson: 7
A solid race for Larson, who hung around near the front for most of the afternoon.
Kyle Busch: 7
Another finish inside the top-five for this race team that is just clicking right now.
Austin Cindric: 8
Cindric desperately needed this good finish.
Michael McDowell: 7
Another under-the-radar solid finish for McDowell and Front Row Motorsports.
Joey Logano: 6
There was a lot of good fortune in order to get this result, but Penske will certainly take it.
Ty Gibbs: 8
A great drive by the rookie, who was the top-finishing Toyota on Sunday.
Chris Buescher: 8
Yet another top-ten run for Buescher, as RFK Racing continues to show their improvement.
Denny Hamlin: 5
Not the finish he envisioned after earning pole position, but a decent rebound after his early incident.
William Byron: 7
He hasn't been competing for wins lately, but he still had a solid race on Sunday.
AJ Allmendinger: 5
Expectations were high for AJ, who was one of the only drivers in this race with experience racing on street courses.
Christopher Bell: 8
He had the car to beat early on, leading 37 laps before an accident crushed his hopes of winning.
Jenson Button: 7
The finish was not indicative of how his day went, which was another solid outing.
Ross Chastain: 6
He may have improved from his 34th place starting position, but he was not able to get to the front.
Daniel Suarez: 5
If any Trackhouse driver was going to win at this track, many assumed it would be Suarez, but he was nowhere to be found.
Tyler Reddick: 8
He and Bell were the class of the field but a late-race incident ruined his run.
Kevin Harvick: 5
Harvick got collected in a crash but it didn't really matter, as he struggled all weekend.
Bubba Wallace: 6
Not a great showing for Bubba, in Michael Jordan's backyard.
Martin Truex Jr: 6
A spin at the end of the race put him further down that he should have been, but he was never in contention for the win.
Ryan Blaney: 6
His day went much better than last Sunday, which speaks volumes with his 33rd place finish.
Alex Bowman: 2
Finishing last is never good, especially when you are trying to get into the playoffs.
