Byron Wins at Homestead
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — William Byron has given NASCAR its third surprise winner in as many weeks.
Byron controlled most of the final two stages at Homestead-Miami Speedway and won for the second time in 111 Cup starts. His first one came at Daytona last August and landed him one of the final spots in the playoffs.
Byron joins Michael McDowell and Christopher Bell in the relatively odd group of 2021 winners.
Tyler Reddick was second, nearly 3 seconds back. He was followed by Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Larson and Kevin Harvick.
