William Byron Is One Of The Top Favorites To Win At COTA
9 months agoIn qualifying for Sunday's EchoPark Texas Grand Prix, William Byron scored the pole position, the 13th of his Cup career, and his second consecutive pole at Circuit of the Americas. Through three previous Cup races at COTA, last year was Byron's best performance at the site, where he led 28 laps from the pole position before his best career finish of fifth. The driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet also never finished worse than 12th in his Cup career at the Texas road course. After five races so far this season, Byron has two top-10 finishes, including a win in this year's Daytona 500. Byron showed plenty of speed in pre-race events as during practice, he also had the fastest single lap of all drivers and had the fourth-best overall lap average. Similarly to last year, Byron should be expected to lead laps right from the beginning and be one of the top favorites to compete for the win at COTA this week.
