William Byron, NASCAR Driver
Manage episode 295188881 series 2915574
William Byron drives the #24 Chervolet Camaro ZL1 in the NASCAR Cup Series representing Hendrick Motorsports.
A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Byron has quickly amassed an impressive list of accomplishments – especially considering he first drove a race car just six years ago. He continues to add to his already impressive racing resumé after collecting his fourth consecutive rookie of the year award. But in 2019, for the first time in his young NASCAR career, Byron will compete on the track without a yellow rookie stripe adorning his back bumper.
Hendrick Motorsports signed Byron, then 18, in August 2016 when he was a record-breaking rookie in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series. By the end of his season driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, he had racked up an astounding seven victories, 3,248 laps led and three pole positions en route to rookie of the year honors. Although Byron narrowly missed winning the championship due to an engine failure, it was the most successful debut season in series history.
