NASCAR MEDIA CONFERENCE

January 1, 1970

William Byron

Q. William, could you pick a better spot for your first-ever walk-off win?

WILLIAM BYRON: No. Damn, I got a lot to say (smiling). Things have a way of working out. God really tests your resilience a lot of times. We've been tested. Just unbelievable.

I'm out of breath. Thank you, fans, for coming out. Bad-ass crowd. I watched my first NASCAR race up there just before start/finish line. Man, I am just so thankful, excited to see my family, just celebrate this one.

We obviously go to Phoenix. Just go try to kick ass there.

Q. You mentioned all that you have been through and this team has been through. Have you ever been through more emotional swings in 10 weeks to get to this point?

WILLIAM BYRON: No. I mean, we just worked so hard, all these guys work so hard. You put everything into Sundays. Sometimes you don't get anything in return. That's been the last couple weeks. Honestly, throughout the year, had some close calls.

But yeah, sometimes life is that way. You just got to keep being resilient. We were. Just feels damn good.
