Who won the NASCAR race today?
William Byron, driving the #24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, clinched his third win of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season in NASCAR overtime at the 0.526-mile paperclip-shaped track.
When the drivers ahead of Byron made pit stops, he worked his way forward, passing Daniel Suarez for the lead on lap 327. Byron led the next 86 laps and was heading towards an uneventful win with two laps to go when John Hunter Nemechek’s #42 car suffered a brake failure. The wreck brought a caution and sent the race into overtime.
On the restart, William Byron passed his teammate Chase Elliott for the lead and crossed the finish line by an impressive margin of 0.550 seconds ahead of Kyle Larson to grab the checkered flag. The win marked his second at Martinsville and his 13th career win in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Meanwhile, pole-sitter Kyle Larson finished runner-up, followed by Chase Elliott, Bubba Wallace, and Ryan Blaney in the top five. Joey Logano, Tyler Reddick, Alex Bowman, Ryan Preece, and Chase Briscoe completed the top 10 in the Cook Out 400.
