William Byron Dominates at Martinsville and Advances to the Championship Round
Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron was the most dominant driver of the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Byron's dominance began right from the beginning of the race as he started from the pole position and left the field behind immediately on the first lap. The No. 24 Chevrolet driver went on to lead all but 11 of the first 271 laps and win the first two stages without much competition. In the final stage, Byron restarted further back in the field after pitting for tires and fuel, while others stayed out. It took him most of the stage, but Byron returned to the lead by chasing down Ryan Blaney, who led most of the final stage, until lap 457 when Byron nudged Blaney out of the way for the lead. By leading the last 44 laps, Byron earned a clutch victory after leading 304 total laps that advanced him into the championship round of the playoffs at Phoenix, where he will compete for his first Cup Series title.
