The 2023 Alsco Uniforms 250 was the 17th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 3rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, July 8, 2023, in Hampton, Georgia at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a permanent quad-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 163 laps, but was extended to 169 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. John Hunter Nemechek, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would take advantage of a late-race restart, and held off the Kaulig Racing trio to earn his 5th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his third of the season. Justin Haley dominated most of the race, leading a race-high 80 laps. To fill out the podium, Daniel Hemric, driving for Kaulig Racing, and Cole Custer, driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Background Atlanta Motor Speedway is a track in Hampton, Georgia, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It is a quad-oval track with a seating capacity of 111,000. It opened in 1960 as a standard oval. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval. The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit.
