William Byron completed a near clinic-like weekend performance with a convincing NASCAR Cup victory Sunday at Circuit of the Americas.

Byron, who was fastest in practice on Saturday and won the pole, dominated Sunday’s race, leading five times for 42 of the 68 laps on his way to his second win of the 2024 season. Byron lost the lead at the start of the final stage to Ross Chastain, ran him back down to reclaim in, lost it again during a final round of green flag pit stops but cycled back out front with 17 laps remaining.

Byron’s advantage over Bowman had grown to almost 4 seconds with 10 laps remaining. Bell, who was on slightly fresher tires, ran fourth but nine seconds behind the leader. Gibbs muscled his way around Bowman in Turn 2 to take the runner-up position with eight laps remaining. CLA DRIVER # MANUFACTURER LAPS TIME INTERVAL PITS POINTS 1 W.
