Byron definitely has potential, he just needs to step up in the clutch, when it really comes down to it…. I would say, given the fact that Chase is, very unfortunately going to be out for a little while, and if he really wants to show what he’s made of, NOW, is the time to step up and perform

I am a Byron fan and remember saying last year that he’d be hard to handle if they could put a whole race together. Sunday proved he had a bad fast car, good strategy, and was able to make those calls to adjustments to help fix the car. I really hope that isn’t just a flash in the pan performance because I think he really can be a contender.

The results haven’t shown it but he was at the front of the pack at Daytona until the end and got involved in a crash. And he was battling for a win at Fontana while pit road mistakes completely costed him. He very well could have started this year with a win and 2 top 5’s/10’s

Is consistency even truly needed anymore? So long as you can win a race early (check), it literally doesn’t matter what you do until race 27. At this point, I think only a few old-school drivers like Harvick, Hamlin, Truex and to a lesser extent Logano and Chase, really care about getting good finishes if they don’t win. For everyone else, if you have a fast car you try for a win, and if you don’t, what’s it matter?

What does matter more than consistent results is consistent speed, and that’s something Byron’s shown in spades. That’s far more indicative of his long-term success potential than his top ten total. So long as he’s got a car capable of winning at least twice a year, he has as good a shot at the title as anybody.

In reply to The Iceberg. As a diehard Byron fan (since 2015), the one thing he and his team need to figure out is how to finish. I was keeping tabs last year on every race he had top-10 speed; when the regular season ended, he was fast enough in 22 of 26 races to get top-tens (even had winning speed). However, he only managed 5 top-tens in that span. Why? Poor strategy, car/parts failures, driver error, wrecks/bad luck, pit mistakes, you name it! Fontana last week was a great example; fast car on short runs and early in the race, but poor adjustments, a smack on the wall, and a penalty ruined it. In conclusion, he has the speed to be a contender, but he and his team need to learn to keep it all race long, and all season long. If he can, he could be the best HMS driver out there.
