The 2023 Kansas Lottery 200 was the 19th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the final race of the Round of 10, and the second iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, September 8, 2023, in Kansas City, Kansas at Kansas Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent quad-oval shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. In a wild overtime finish, Christian Eckes, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would steal the win after making a three-wide pass on Corey Heim and Zane Smith, taking the lead on the final corner and earning his fourth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his third of the season.[1] Nick Sanchez, Heim, and Carson Hocevar would be the dominant drivers of the race, leading 43, 40, and 32 laps respectively. To fill out the podium, Taylor Gray, driving for Tricon Garage, and Matt DiBenedetto, driving for Rackley WAR, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
The eight drivers advancing into the next round of the playoffs are Corey Heim, Christian Eckes, Grant Enfinger, Carson Hocevar, Zane Smith, Ty Majeski, Ben Rhodes, and Nick Sanchez. Matt DiBenedetto and Matt Crafton would fail to advance.[2]
