Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron posted glimpses from his getaway to Japan during the off-season on Instagram. The #24 driver landed in Japan earlier this week and has been posting pictures on his stories from his time in East Asia.
Byron finished the 2024 NASCAR season third in the standings behind Team Penske drivers Ryan Blaney and winner Joey Logano. Every driver is spending the off season in various ways. Blaney recently got married to his long-time girlfriend. Byron has taken the time during the off-season to do sightseeing in the Land of The Rising Sun.
The 2024 Daytona 500 winner posted pictures from his trip to Tokyo earlier today. Byron posted from Shibuya Crossing, a recognizable sight from the city that can see up to 2,500 pedestrians:

Liberty University's sponsorship livery for William Byron
The Hendrick Motorsports #24 car will feature a Liberty University themed livery for the 2025 season. William Byron, who is currently pursuing a B.S. in Strategic Communications through Liberty University's online programs, has had the sponsorship of the institution since 2014, when he was driving for JR Motorsports.
The red, white, and blue livery that will be seen on Byron's Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is identical to the livery used for the 12 races of the 2024 season that the University had also sponsored. This year, the livery will only be a part of 6 races of the 2025 season including the races at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, and Daytona International Speedway.
The first race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series scheduled in February at the Bowman Gray Stadium will also see the first appearance of this livery.
