It was a classic case of deja vu in the desert after Hendrick Motorsports continued to assert their dominance over the competition and William Byron pulled off back-to-back victories to close out NASCAR’s West Coast tour at Phoenix Raceway.
“I owe the last couple weeks to him,” Byron said. “He's done a really good job strategy-wise and execution-wise. We've done a good job to put ourselves in those positions on the front row with a shot at the end. Thanks to everybody back at Hendrick Motorsports, putting together great cars, doing a great job. This is a big credit to them.”
Following the final set of pit stops, Larson appeared to be in prime position to score his first win after a blistering-fast two-tire stop saw him fire off pit road first. Unfortunately, he was unable to handle a push from runner-up Ryan Blaney into Turn 1 to overtake his teammate for the win. NASCAR Xfinity Series regular and 32-year-old Josh Berry was the feel-good story of the day after finishing 10th in just his second start driving the No. 9 car for Chase Elliott, who was unable to compete due to a fractured tibia.
By all accounts, these were the best drivers all day, and it actually looked like the “King of Phoenix” was going to ride off into the sunset and score his 10th victory at the one-mile track.
