William Byron

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Survived a lot today.

WILLIAM BYRON: Yeah, we did. Worked our tail off for that win. Had a lot of nose damage when the 23 spun, got into him. Looked like I still had a hole in the nose at the end.

Just really proud of our team, but proud of Hendrick Motorsports as a whole. Great to see Kyle win, the 5 team. They did a great job. They were fast all day. Yeah, we competed really hard and tried to continue to put ourselves in position. Just kind of a grind-it-out day.

Phorm Energy Chevy was good at the end. Just got to keep going. We don't quit. We're just going to keep moving forward. This is a good shot in the arm to get a good result, some good restarts at the end.
