🇺🇸 William Byron

William Byron is an established professional competing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series for Hendrick Motorsports, driving the No. 24 Chevrolet, and part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports. His career spans 12 seasons from 2015 to 2026 across four national championships. Byron races primarily on oval circuits, with occasional road and street course entries in the upper series.[1]

Across 425 starts, Byron has taken 30 wins and 75 podiums. His peak came early in his career with back-to-back titles in 2016, winning the NASCAR Truck championship with Kyle Busch Motorsports, and the following year the NASCAR Xfinity championship with JR Motorsports. In the NASCAR Cup Series, where he has competed since 2018 across 344 starts, he has recorded 17 wins and 48 podiums. His NASCAR Xfinity record across a longer span shows five wins and 14 podiums from 46 starts. Byron also raced in the ARCA Menards Series in 2015 and 2016, posting two podiums from four starts. His 2026 campaign in Xfinity has yielded one podium so far from three rounds completed.[2]

Byron regularly faces elite and established professionals in the NASCAR series. Daniel Suárez, a 2016 Xfinity champion with extensive Cup experience, has been a closely matched regular opponent. Ryan Blaney, the 2023 NASCAR Cup champion who has amassed 344 Cup starts, has raced him competitively across multiple series. Byron has finished ahead of drivers of considerably higher standing, including Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell, a 2017 Truck champion with FIA Silver grading, over the span of their shared seasons. At JR Motorsports, Byron competes alongside drivers in a team whose strongest entrant, Kyle Larson, is an elite professional.
