William Byron was a visible mixture of raw excitement and tempered enthusiasm Saturday morning before the opening round of practice for Sunday’s NASCAR Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series regular season finale at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
And this weekend, Byron’s success could make NASCAR history as the series prepares for the 10-race Playoff portion of the season beginning next week at Las Vegas. Should Byron win the Busch Pole position Sunday morning for the Brickyard 400, he would be the first driver in history to win the pole position at the sport’s four biggest races - the Daytona 500, Charlotte’s Coca-Cola 600, Darlington’s Southern 500 and the Brickyard 400 - all in the same season.
“Plus, it would be such a big race to win right before you start the Playoffs. I think [a win] would carry a lot of momentum into the first round.’’ And it all translates into a hefty dose of Playoff confidence at just the right time. Byron is currently ranked 13th in the points standings and has already clinched his postseason berth.
