2023 CARS Tour

The 2023 CARS Tour was the 27th season of the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour, a stock car racing series. It began at Southern National Motorsports Park on March 2 and ended at North Wilkesboro Speedway on October 19. Carson Kvapil won the Late Model Stock Tour championship for the second straight year, while younger brother Caden Kvapil won the Pro Late Model Tour championship.

Carson Kvapil entered the season as the defending Late Model Stock Tour champion, while Luke Fenhaus entered as the Pro Late Model Tour champion. Fenhaus did not race in the series in 2023 after making the move to run full-time in the ARCA Menards Series East.

This was the first season under the acquisition of DEJ Management, Jeff Burton Autosports, Inc., Kevin Harvick Incorporated, and Trackhouse Racing.
