Byron, Blaney out to make sure playoff history doesn’t repeat
William Byron and Ryan Blaney were the first drivers to secure spots in the third round of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Both drivers have previously made it to this stage, but their ultimate goal is to advance past the semifinals, something they haven’t achieved before. Last year, Byron made it to the Round of 8 but fell short of advancing due to missed opportunities. He believes that learning from that experience will help his team execute better this time around. Byron has won all three races in the next round before, but he doesn’t consider himself a favorite at those tracks, although he is confident in his ability to finish in the top five. Blaney’s postseason success is less predictable, and his performance in the playoffs remains to be seen.
