## Resource

William Byron nearly pulled off a win at Chicagoland Speedway, leading 94 laps and winning both stages — more than in his previous 18 races combined — but a strategic pit stop handed the victory to Chase Briscoe. Byron believes the pit cycle wasn’t the only factor, as Briscoe was already pulling away, and rivals like Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin surged in the final laps. Even with clean air after the stop, Briscoe’s pace proved too much. Still, the performance marks a promising stride for Byron and Hendrick Motorsports, showing progress against Joe Gibbs Racing and building on recent strong finishes like third at Pocono. The team’s focus remains on incremental gains — inching up to consistently challenge for wins. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
