Byron showcased his racing skills throughout the road course race, starting on pole position and ultimately securing the trophy despite facing a strong challenge from another driver. After the race, Jeff Gordon, the Vice Chairman of Hendrick Motorsports and a four-time NASCAR Cup champion, praised Byron’s performance and expressed his belief that Byron is leading the team in a new direction.
Gordon, who achieved his championships with the same team, commended Byron’s performance and emphasized how special the team’s current success is. He sees great potential for a maiden Cup Series title for Byron if he continues to perform at this level throughout the season. Byron’s win also highlights his dominance in the Next-Gen era, as he is the first driver to win multiple races in the three seasons of this era.
Following William Byron’s victory at the NASCAR Cup Series race at COTA, Jeff Gordon, the Vice Chairman of Hendrick Motorsports, praised the team’s achievements. He highlighted the team’s strong performance at the Daytona 500 and COTA, emphasizing their improved performance. Gordon also acknowledged the team’s strategic excellence and efficient pit stops throughout the race weekend at COTA.
