William Byron

Pit Lane Interview

Q. William Byron, a couple things going on. You chose the outside. You had nine-lap older tires. How much of that was a factor?

WILLIAM BYRON: I'll relive that restart, what lane to choose overnight, for sure. It seems like always as the leader you want to take the top. I've gotten beat twice here by the bottom. I had the lead on the bottom barely over him, but he had a better car than us. He was a little bit faster.

Second sucks. Really proud of the effort. I feel like we've been trying to put weeks together like this. This is a really good step. Everyone did a great job on the team. Strategy was awesome. Car was awesome all day.

Really proud of the team. Just thanks to all of our partners, Raptor, Chevrolet. Wanted to get a win for Chevy here in their backyard. Try next year.
