The 2023 Pacific Office Automation 147 was the 13th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 2nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, June 3, 2023, in Portland, Oregon at Portland International Raceway, a 1.967 miles (3.166 km) permanent road course. The race was increased from 75 to 77 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In a wild finish, Cole Custer, driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, would take advantage of the lead with two laps to go, after the 3rd-place driver of Parker Kligerman locked his brakes coming into turn one, ultimately forcing Justin Allgaier and Sheldon Creed to miss the chicane. Custer eventually held off Allgaier in a last lap dash to earn his 11th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his first of the season. Creed, who started on the pole, would dominate the race in general, leading a race-high 47 laps.[1] To fill out the podium, Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, and Sam Mayer, also driving for JR Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Post-race conflict

[edit]

After the race, a heated discussion took place between Jordan Anderson Racing driver Jeb Burton and Kaulig Racing driver Chandler Smith. With under ten laps to go, Smith bumped into the back of Burton coming into turn four, causing him to spin through the grass. After the race, Burton attempted to confront Smith on pit road. After throwing a few shots, Burton was cut off by Smith's pit crew members. In the end, one of the crew members put Burton in a headlock. After the scuffle, Burton went into a heated argument with Kaulig Racing president Chris Rice.[6]
