The 2023 Baptist Health Cancer Care 200 was the 22nd stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the final race of the Round of 8, and the 27th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, October 21, 2023, in Homestead, Florida at Homestead–Miami Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent oval shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. Carson Hocevar, driving for Niece Motorsports, would make a successful late-race pass for the lead on Ben Rhodes, and led the final remaining laps to earn his fourth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his fourth of the season. He would earn a spot in the Championship 4.[1] To fill out the podium, Rhodes, driving for ThorSport Racing, and Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Zane Smith, who originally finished in the second position, was disqualified following post-race inspection due to a windshield violation.[2]

The four drivers that would advance into the Championship 4 are Corey Heim, Carson Hocevar, Grant Enfinger, and Ben Rhodes. Nick Sanchez, Christian Eckes, Ty Majeski, and Zane Smith would be eliminated from championship contention.[3]
