William Byron put on a clinic in Stage 1 of today’s race, leading every single lap from the drop of the green flag to the waving of the green-and-white checkered. It was a textbook example of precision, speed, and control—everything you’d expect from a driver locked in and dialed into both his car and the track.
From the start, Byron wasted no time establishing his dominance, quickly pulling away from the field and setting a blistering pace that no one could match. His No. 24 Chevrolet looked untouchable as he handled traffic with ease, maintained tire life, and hit his marks lap after lap.
This Stage 1 win marks yet another highlight in what’s shaping up to be a strong season for Byron, who’s already proven himself as a consistent frontrunner. More than just a stage win, today’s performance sends a message to the rest of the field: Byron is here to compete for the win, and he’s got the speed to back it up.
If this early showing is any indication, the rest of the field will have their hands full trying to catch the No. 24 as the race continues. With track position, momentum, and confidence all on his side, Byron’s in a prime position to chase victory lane.
