Bryon started from pole position and delivered a dominant drive in NASCAR's first road course race of the season Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas. The Hendrick Motorsports driver led 42 of 68 laps and built the big lead he needed to hold off a hard-charging run from Joe Gibbs Racing's Christopher Bell.
AUSTIN, Texas — William Byron won the Daytona 500 with an agonizing final lap under a caution flag. He took the checkered flag on Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas at full throttle.
“I was trying to not make mistakes,” Byron said. “I knew that last lap he was going to be pushing hard.”“Everyone is too good, and that car too close,” Byron said. Byron led 23 laps of the first two stages, but found himself quickly dropped to third at the start of the final stage as Ross Chastain, who won at COTA in 2022, jumped to the front.
“Another lap I would have gotten there for sure,” Bell said. “Passing would have been difficult. I needed him to make a mistake and he didn’t make a mistake.”The course had few track limits, but the ones enforced by race officials brought a hefty penalty for drivers who got caught.

Drivers Gear Up for NASCAR Race at Circuit of The AmericasDrivers face their first road test of the NASCAR season when they clash at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Tyler Reddick won last year’s race at COTA and is favored to win this weekend. Reddick has eight top-10 finishes in the last 10 road-course races and is the only driver to qualify and finish in the top five in tow races at COTA, NASCAR noted. But Reddick faces stiff competition from fellow drivers, including Ross Chastain, who won his first career cup at COTA in 2022. Chastain is also the only driver to complete all three races at the circuit in the top five. And other drivers to watch in Sunday’s race are Alex Bowman, Martin Truex Jr, Shane Van Gisbergen, and Chris Buescher. COTA is a massive 3.41-mile track that features 20 turns. Since it opened in 2021, the racing venue has hosted various racing and live sporting events, including Formula One, according to NASCAR. This story was reported from Washington, D.C.
