William Byron can lead 485 laps at Charlotte and still go home empty-handed. He can rattle off four straight top-10s and still sit 160 points behind his own teammate. That’s where he is heading into the Bank of America 400…
William Byron spoke candidly about the performance gap between his No. 24 team and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson.
