William Byron Has Race-Winning Speed at Watkins Glen
1 year agoWilliam Byron has never won a road course race in the NASCAR Cup Series, but that could possibly happen this weekend at Watkins Glen. Byron's No. 24 Chevrolet has been fast ever since the team unloaded it off the truck, posting the 3rd-fastest lap in practice and then going out and qualifying in 2nd-place for this weekend's Go Bowling at The Glen. Byron also had the best ten-lap average during practice, and was the best car on Saturday according to the FLAGS metric by RotoDoc, who represents The Action Network. Byron's career-best finish on this track type is a 5th-place result at COTA earlier this year, and his best result here at Watkins Glen has been a 6th-place finish in the 2021 race.
