Daytona 500 Highlights: William Byron’s Victory Marks a Strong Start to the 2024 NASCAR Season
If 2023 was a breakthrough year for William Byron, 2024 could prove to be even bigger. Byron, who led all NASCAR Cup Series drivers with six wins last season, scored the biggest triumph of his career Monday evening, winning the 66th annual Daytona 500 to kick off the 2024 season.
Byron took the white flag at Daytona International Speedway in his No. 24 Chevrolet seconds before a caution flag flew because of a last-lap crash. The 26-year-old edged his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman for the checkered flag, NASCAR officials ruled, after reviewing the sequence of events.
