William Byron overcomes a difficult race to secure a spot in the Championship 4 for the first time in his career.
Byron entered the elimination race with a 30-point buffer, but he quickly saw his points cushion evaporate. Ryan Blaney scored 19 out of a possible 20 stage points, while Byron scored zero. He remained mired back in the pack, struggling to get a handle on his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. He ended up finishing 13th, one lap down, but that was just enough. He advanced by just eight points over Denny Hamlin.
Everyone raced me there good at the end. Congrats to Ryan . I was really happy for him, brother-in-law. He was really fast. But, man, we just had to hang on. Just had to dig a little bit deeper. 'I knew when I got out of the car I was just beat. But the result means more than anything. These guys work so hard. We've worked so hard all season. I'm just really proud of them. ' Byron will be part of the Championship 4 for the first time in his career.
