William Byron's sponsor has launched an exciting initiative that empowers fans to directly influence the paint schemes of Hendrick Motorsports drivers for the 2024 season. This unique opportunity empowers fans to actively shape the aesthetics of Byron's car, adding an exciting layer of fan involvement to the upcoming races.
Fans are invited to participate in a bracket-style competition featuring four paint schemes to determine the design for Byron's car at the Chicago Street Race on July 7 and the NASCAR Cup Series playoff opener at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sept. 8.
Voting for the first round is ongoing until 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 24. The two finalists will then compete in the final round, running from Monday, March 25, at 9 a.m. ET until Thursday, March 28, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Fans may only vote once per round. The winning paint scheme will be unveiled on Friday, March 29.
