The 2023 Toyota 200 presented by CK Power was the 12th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 10th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, June 3, 2023, in Madison, Illinois at Gateway Motorsports Park, a permanent quad-oval shaped racetrack. The race was increased from 160 to 162 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Grant Enfinger, driving for GMS Racing, would take advantage of the lead on the final restart with two laps to go, and earned his ninth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his second of the season. Enfinger and Ty Majeski both dominated the entire race, leading 65 and 55 laps. To fill out the podium, Christian Eckes, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, and Stewart Friesen, driving for Halmar Friesen Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
