William Byron becomes the first driver to win two races this season aft𓆉er winning last night's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.

Byro⛄n won the first race of the season at the Daytona 5💫00, but since then has only finished 17th, 10th, 18th and 35th.

෴After w🤡inning his second race of the year Byron spoke on the troubles he has had between Daytona and COTA:

“This sport is really hard it is so difficult to show up week in and week out and have fast cars. We have had a little bit of a rough stretch these last couple of weeks,ဣ bu🃏t we put a lot of prep work in this week.”

“It is a lot of fun to win races, but it is really diffﷺicult, we are going to enjoy this one.”

Byron sp🅷oke highly of his Hendrick Motorsport༺ team that was so influential in pit road to helping him get this win:

“When we are on, we are firing on all cylinders whether it is pit road, strategy, calls 🌺on top of the pit box for changes in the car. Thanks to everybody in the team, not enough people get credit.”

After ജhis poor results since the Dayton 500 Byron had been slipping down the order. However, this win was massive for the 26-year-olds Championship♑ hopes as he moved up four places in the standings to sixth overall after six races.
