And people thought Kyle was crazy saying Byron would be the best at Hendrick
As a Byron fan I knew he was really good especially after 2021 he was the youngest driver with 10 straight top 10s now in 2024 he’s the first driver since Gordon in the 90s to be the first repeat winner in three straight years last year under the Winston cup format Byron would be champion with a really good championship year unfortunately NASCAR rewards mediocrity and blaney is a champion instead of the best team
We just gonna ignore larson
Larson will probably leave NASCAR in like 5 years, Byron’s got another 15
He mentioned Larson.
Larson ain’t going anywhere
Since they introduced the NextGen car, Byron has 10 race wins to Larson’s 8 and has beaten Larson in 39 of the 78 races run with an average finish of 13.3 to Larson’s 14.3.
Does kyle petty have a podcast?
*Ladder
Heck yeah keep winning Willy B!
LET’S GO WILLIAM BYRON!!!!!!
William Byron Is Awesome
He is the best in nascar based of rn
And in a full season format he’s a champion but we have to deal with fluke champions right now and possibly forever
@@SpiderPigRex YES THANK YOU
W B all the way
holy crap lois
Byron is definitely a great driver, he had his breakout season last year and came just short of the championship. He opens up this one with the Daytona 500 win and another in COTA. He’s showing everyone that he’s for real about winning
He had his breakout year in 2021 but in modern NASCAR having a great season means you won 5 races or got a fluke championship
Since championships aren’t as valuable as they used to be he’s gotta win as many races as possible
It’s been enjoyable as an old 24 fan to see Byron with his steady improvement to the top. Better than Larson right now? I don’t believe so. But it sure is fun to see Byron drive that car clean, consistent and near the top. A super star on the rise,
Byron would be champion under a full season points format unfortunately NASCAR rewards drivers that have had mediocre years Blaney shouldn’t have been able to win the championship but he got lucky at Phoenix
Also the reason people say Larson is so good is because of the 10 win year they forget in the gen 6 car if you had the fastest car you could win a lot Harvick won 8 or 9 in 2021 I think Busch won 7 in like 2020 or something but winning was easier with a fast car in the past
I agree with Kyle completely. Byron is has come into this season on fire, and I can’t wait to see him win that Cup Series trophy. Don’t forget about Christopher Bell because he’s come into this season hot. I’m excited to see what these two will do this season.
dont forget ty gibbs actually, i believe he has the best avg finish of any driver
Ive said the same
William Byron has been doing great for years! He did an amazing job at yesterday’s NASCAR race in Austin, Texas. Go William Byron!
At Hendricks, we don’t operate like that. We celebrate all our wins, regardless of the driver, and support each of our drivers wholeheartedly.
Please give us a full season points format so the best team wins championships a champion is someone that earned the title not had a bad season and got good in the final 4 races and gets handed a cup because why not
