Fox News
William Byron picked up his fifth win of the season, this time coming at Watkins Glen International. He beat out Denny Hamlin by nearly 3 seconds.
"We've worked years and years for this," Byron said, crediting veteran open-wheel racer Max Papis with helping him. "It’s a great win. I don’t know what it means and all that. I don’t read into that. But I think it shows that when we’re at our best, we can perform like this."
Driving the No. 24 Chevrolet for powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports, Byron overtook Michael McDowell in the first quarter of the 90-lap event and pretty much remained in control the rest of the way. He led 66 laps in all, including the final 33.
