William Byron takes a historic win for Hendrick Motorsports at Daytona 500

Despite starting the chain reaction of crashes, Byron went on to win the season-opening Daytona 500, the first of his career, followed by his teammate Bowman in second position. This marked a historic win for Hendrick Motorsports at the Daytona as they equaled Petty Enterprises' nine wins at the prestigious event, the most by any team.

After the crash, William Byron was in second place, following the lead from Ross Chastain in the Chevrolet. On the final lap, there was contact between the latter and Austric Cindric, making it an open and clear victory for Byron. He shared his experience with FOX after winning the race:

"I'm telling you couldn't write the script any better, 2024 #24 and when we think about coming down for the first time, we didn't think we should be here, felt out of place. We win this on our 40th to the day, it's just - in time a record now, so that's awesome."

The last time Hendrick Motorsports achieved a 1-2 finish at the Daytona 500 was in 2013, with Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr in first and second place, respectively.
