William Byron led 42 of the 68 laps at Circuit of the Americas, holding off Christopher Bell at the finish line for the victory on Sunday.
AUSTIN, Texas — William Byron had one of those perfect racing weekends. Fastest in practice. Fastest in the final round of qualifying. Fastest in the race. Fastest to the finish line. Byron, who led the Cup Series with six victories in 2023, captured his second victory of the 2024 season in leading 42 of the 68 laps at Circuit of the Americas. The Hendrick Motorsports driver would have led more laps if he didn't pit prior to the end of the stages for track position purposes.
Bowman said some of the more veteran drivers have advantages at the road courses the Cup Series has visited for several years but with COTA just in its fourth year on the schedule, he has been able to learn on par with everyone else. 'Not racing against guys with a huge notebook is always good,' Bowman said. 'You look at Sonoma and Watkins Glen, a lot of guys have been going there for a really long time. 'It's always fit me a little bit.
