1995, 2001 and now 2023
The first four races of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season has only seen one manufacturer in Victory Lane – Chevrolet.
In the Modern Era (1972-2023), a manufacturer has only swept a season’s first three races five times and Chevrolet drivers are responsible for four of them – Chevrolet (1995, 2001, 2010, 2023) and Ford (1992).
This season, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the Daytona 500, Kyle Busch won at Auto Club Speedway and William Byron won at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and last week at Phoenix Raceway.
A manufacturer has only swept the first four races of a NASCAR Cup Series season in the Modern Era four times – Chevrolet (1995, 2001, 2023) and Ford (1992).
The record for the most consecutive wins by a manufacturer to start at NASCAR Cup Series season in the Modern Era is nine straight victories by Ford in the 1992 season. The most consecutive victories to start a Cup Series season by Chevrolet was seven straight wins in the 1995 season – second-most in the Modern Era.
