## Resource

William Byron, last year’s points leader, is feeling the heat this season—winless after 15 races despite still leading laps and scoring top-tens. Three recent crashes, some of which he blames on bad luck or even external factors, have derailed his momentum. A rain-shortened qualifying session added to the frustration as his team struggles to find consistency, with recent races yielding finishes outside the top 30. While teammate Kyle Larson thrives at sixth, Byron knows the Hendrick Motorsports crew needs to rediscover their winning rhythm fast if they’re to make a serious playoff push.
