William Byron Has An Underwhelming Day At Homestead
1 day agoWilliam Byron of Hendrick Motorsports had a performance of missed potential at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Straight Talk Wireless 400 as he ended in 12th. Beginning the race from the fifth position, Byron showcased that he had one of the better cars of the field as he ran inside the top 10 through the entire stage. Despite making it as high as the top three, Byron faded back to sixth, still scoring stage points. In the second stage, Byron and his No. 24 team utilized pit strategy to get him to the front, but he ran most of the stage in second place before others on fresh tires passed him. Byron ended stage two in fourth, earning more stage points. In the final stage, Byron kept his car clean and tried to use further strategy, but he could not capitalize on his car's speed and was shuffled back in the pack, unlike the previous two stages. Byron would make it back as far as 12th position, giving him just his second finish outside of the top 10 this season. Byron remains the current points standings leader despite his underwhelming result this weekend.
