One of the key components that separate NASCAR from other big leagues is the element of unpredictability. And unpredictability is what you get when you put close to 40 high-performance racecars and their super-competitive drivers in a confined oval track.

This is a recipe for some high-octane racing moments and a bunch of drama.

One such moment came during the recent race in Phoenix, and fans had a hilarious time reacting to an incident. During the restart frenzy start of the race, John Hunter Nemechek in his No.20 Toyota kissed the wall which later became the source of memes. Firing off into the race, the younger driver ran wide on the first two turns, managing only a brief bump while the fans managed to pick some humor off it.

With the fans having a good time, significant race events coming in, and the promising driver focused on the coming races, the 2023 season is lifting off in a spectacular fashion.
