William Byron: Career-Best Finish at Pocono
Sunday at Pocono Raceway, three Hendrick Motorsports teammates took the checkered flag with Top-10 finishes. Alex Bowman led the way with a third-place finish, and Byron was the next teammate to cross the finish line in sixth. It marked a career-best finish for both drivers, hendrickmotorsports.com reports.
Analysis:
It was quite a day for Hendrick Motorsports, and the No. 24 and No. 88 teams showed some dramatic improvement. Byron started 38th on the grid, so it made his sixth-place finish even more impressive. The young driver also led 10 laps as he restarted stage 3 with the lead. Byron remains 21st overall in the driver point standings, but this was a great performance to build on going forward.
