The 2024 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix is done and dusted. The first road course race of the season started at 3:30 pm ET and lasted for three hours, 47 minutes, and 15 seconds at Circuit of the Americas, with 39 entries.
William Byron, driving the #24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, clinched a convincing victory at COTA. He put in a dominating performance from the pole leading 42 of 68 laps, and held off a late charge from Christopher Bell to win his second race of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season.
After leading the final 18 laps, Byron crossed the finish line by an impressive margin of 0.692 seconds ahead of Bell to grab the checkered flag. The win marked his second in the last three road course races in NASCAR and his 12th career win in the NASCAR Cup Series. The 26-year-old driver also became the first driver to win multiple races this season after winning the season opener Daytona 500.
Meanwhile, Christopher Bell finished runner-up, followed by Ty Gibbs, Alex Bowman, and last year’s winner Tyler Reddick in the top five. Road course ace AJ Allmendinger, Ross Chastain, Chris Buescher, Kyle Busch, and Martin Truex Jr. completed the top 10 in the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix.
Sunday’s 2024 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix saw seven lead changes among four drivers and witnessed two caution flags.
