William Byron Scores Another Top-Five Finish at Martinsville
William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports finished in fifth place during Sunday's Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway. The No. 24 Chevrolet driver ran a mostly consistent race from start to finish after beginning the race from second. In the first stage, Byron ran second for almost the entire stage, passing Denny Hamlin for the lead once midway through it in order to lead six laps before Hamlin took the lead back. Byron finished the first stage in second and earned nine stage points. In the second stage, Byron ran inside the top 10 throughout most of the stage, but then made his way back to fifth by the end of the stage to collect six more stage points. The final stage for Byron went similarly to the second stage as he continued to run inside the top 10, but did not have the pace to make it past his eventual finishing position of fifth. As a result, Byron earned back-to-back top-5 finishes in consecutive Martinsville races since the 2024 season, and he now sits fifth in the regular-season standings after five races.
