William Byron's Strong Championship Effort Ends With Late-Race Flat-Tire Crash
                
        
        William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports was a consistent threat for the title during the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, but had an unfortunate incident that ruined his chance to win it all. Byron started the race from the second position and, throughout most of the day, ran inside the top five. The No. 24 Chevrolet driver won the first stage and finished third at the end of the second stage, competing with fellow title contender Denny Hamlin for the lead through most of the race. Despite leading 52 laps, Byron was unable to catch Hamlin on speed and looked to finish as the runner-up until he ran into the wall with two laps to go with a flat right rear tire. The third appearance of Byron in the championship four ended with a 33rd-place run, and he finished fourth of the four title contenders, even though he was incident-free through most of the race.
