For William Byron, reaching the Championship 4 and competing for the 2023 NASCAR Cup championship on Sunday is like a fresh start.
While Byron has been a favorite to win the title most of the season and he and his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports team have led the series with six wins. Byron’s playoff point advantage accumulated throughout the year helped him survive a subpar race last weekend at Martinsville that put him back on equal footing with his three fellow championship contenders this weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
At 25, Byron would be the fourth-youngest Cup Series champion in history and would cap off a breakout season for the native of Charlotte, N.C. In addition to his six wins, he leads the series in top-10 finishes and was the No. 1 seed when the playoffs kicked off in September. With Larson the oldest of the Championship 4 drivers at 31, it’s quite possible their collective NASCAR journey could see them face off for the series title multiple times in the years ahead.
