By Bob Pockrass Show NASCAR released its 2023 national series schedule Wednesday, and while the two new additions to the Cup calendar already were known, one of the tracks losing a race was confirmed. Texas Motor Speedway will have only one Cup event — in the NASCAR playoffs. NASCAR announced last week that the 2023 All-Star event will move from Texas to North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway. The other major change on the Cup schedule had already been announced, as the Road America race will move from the Wisconsin track to the streets of Chicago. Other notable elements on the Cup schedule: — The playoff schedule remains unchanged. — The Martinsville race in April moves from a Saturday night to Sunday. There are only two Saturday night races: the traditional regular-season finale at Daytona and the Bristol night race in September. The rest of the Cup schedule is Sunday events. NASCAR announces first street course race in Chicago in 2023
 NASCAR announced the first-ever street course in Chicago as part of the 2023 Cup Series schedule. Other series changes: — The Xfinity Series race that was during the Texas All-Star weekend moves to Sonoma, and the Talladega playoff race moves to the Chicago street course. The additions of Sonoma and Chicago give the Xfinity series eight road courses, as it will continue to make a trip to Road America. — The trucks keep their race from the Texas All-Star weekend, and it will be paired with an IndyCar race at Texas. The truck race at Sonoma moves to North Wilkesboro as a support race for the Cup All-Star weekend. The truck race from Knoxville (Iowa) moves to The Milwaukee Mile.
