The 2023 Baptist Health Cancer Care 200 was the 22nd stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the final race of the Round of 8, and the 27th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, October 21, 2023, in Homestead, Florida at Homestead–Miami Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent oval shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. Carson Hocevar, driving for Niece Motorsports, would make a successful late-race pass for the lead on Ben Rhodes, and led the final remaining laps to earn his fourth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his fourth of the season. He would earn a spot in the Championship 4.[1] To fill out the podium, Rhodes, driving for ThorSport Racing, and Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Zane Smith, who originally finished in the second position, was disqualified following post-race inspection due to a windshield violation.[2]
The four drivers that would advance into the Championship 4 are Corey Heim, Carson Hocevar, Grant Enfinger, and Ben Rhodes. Nick Sanchez, Christian Eckes, Ty Majeski, and Zane Smith would be eliminated from championship contention.[3]
Background
[edit]Homestead–Miami Speedway is a motor racing track located in Homestead, Florida. The track, which has several configurations, has promoted several series of racing, including NASCAR, the NTT IndyCar Series and the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series.
From 2002 to 2019, Homestead-Miami Speedway has hosted the final race of the season in all three of NASCAR's series: the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series. The track has since held races on different dates in 2020 (June) and 2021 (February), which were both effected by the COVID-19 pandemic, before being moved back into the Playoffs as the final race of the Round of 8 in 2022, with the date being kept for 2023.

Qualifying
[edit]Qualifying was held on Friday, October 20, at 4:35 PM CST.[4] Since Homestead–Miami Speedway is an intermediate racetrack, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap system with only one round. In that round, whoever sets the fastest time will win the pole.[6] Nick Sanchez, driving for Rev Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 32.319, and an average speed of 167.084 mph (268.896 km/h).[7]
