Expect William Byron To Be A Top Favorite To Win At Dover
8 months agoIn this week's NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover Motor Speedway, the Wurth 400, William Byron nabbed a starting spot of third through qualifying. This will be just the third time Byron obtained a top-3 starting position at Dover in his Cup career and the fourth time he will start in the Top 5 in 2024. In nine Dover starts, Byron has four top-10 finishes, but most of them have been recent, as he recorded three finishes of fourth in the last four Cup events there. Byron was the dominant driver in last year's Dover race, leading 193 laps before fading to fourth by the end. With 10 races completed this season, Byron leads all drivers with three wins and is tied for the most top-10 finishes (seven). The driver of the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet also showcased one of the fastest cars in pre-race events as he was the fastest in both 10 and 15-consecutive lap averages in practice. Considering how well Hendrick Motorsports performs at Dover and Byron's recent finishes at the site, plus overall 2024 performance, he is one of the top favorites to compete for the win.
