It was a Lap 288 crash between Ross Chastain and Kyle Larson—while battling for the lead—that gave Byron the opportunity to collect his seventh career victory.William Byron took full advantage of a late on-track incident betweenand Kyle Larson to triumph in Sunday’s Goodyear 400 Darlington Raceway and become the first three-time winner in the NASCAR Cup Series this season.
William Byron’s victory was the 100th in Cup competition for the No. 24 car with Hendrick Motorsports.“Definitely didn't expect this. But just thankful for a great team, and, yeah, just things have a way of working out, and to come back here to Darlington and have it go exactly the other way.” “How does that make any sense, running us into the fence?” Cliff Daniels, Larson’s crew chief fumed on the team radio. “That’s three races he’s taken us out of—the 1 car—three races he’s taken us out of.”
The incident forced overtime, handed the lead to the driver of the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Byron outran Kevin Harvick in the final two-lap dash. “But we had good track position, then had a bad pit stop under green, and then wound up having everything work out there at the end. Didn't have anything for William. The front is torn up pretty good. But they did a great job and just kind of kept ourselves in the game, and you never know what's going to happen.”
