Byron: "It stinks to come up short" after career-best season
At 25 years old, Byron was the youngest driver in the Championship 4 and had a chance to win his first title. He won the pole position for the season finale at Phoenix Raceway, which had been a good omen in previous championship races held there. Byron led the first stage of the race and remained at the front until Kevin Harvick passed him on lap 93. Despite battling with the other title contenders throughout the race, Byron only led three more laps and finished fourth overall. He mentioned that once the track rubbered in, the car became tight and they struggled to gain speed in Turns 1 and 2. While Byron was disappointed with the result, he acknowledged the team’s strong season and expressed the need to improve their performance on short tracks. Overall, Byron remains optimistic and believes they will have more opportunities in the future.
