Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron finished 12th after a hard-fought day at Richmond Raceway for the Cook Out 400 on Saturday night. Byron started 14th during Saturday's race, and also finished there at the end of the first stage. Byron continued to experiment with pit strategies throughout the first two stages to gain track position in the long term. Still, he also became involved in a multicar accident on lap 190, resulting from being sent back into the pack due to the various pit stops. Byron was able to continue and finish the second stage in the ninth position, gaining two stage points. Although he would run as high as fifth in the final stage, Byron did not muster up the right pit strategy and did not have the car to finish in the top 10 at Richmond. Byron's 12th-place run, however, was enough for him to clinch the regular-season championship and 15 additional playoff points at the start of the 2025 Cup Series playoffs.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
