Fast Vegas Practice Byron was fastest in Happy Hour practice for the South Point 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon. He turned a fast lap of 182.235 mph.

Impact Not only would Byron lead the session with the single fastest lap but he would also lead the 10 lap averages and showed a very consistent and fast Chevrolet. He would edge Kyle Larson for the fastest lap of this lone session ahead of pole qualifying. Byron looks like a Top-5 threat for Sunday's South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

NASCAR Contender Rankings: Can Kyle Larson Go Back To Back?

Fourth at Gateway Byron finished fourth in the Enjoy Illinois 300 NASCAR Cup Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway.

Impact It was an eventful race for Byron, who ran midpack at times and then was involved in a Lap 141 accident with Chase Briscoe and Bubba Wallace before coming back over the final 100 laps of the race to finish fourth. The Cup Series will now head to Bristol, where Byron has struggled, recording just five Top-10 finishes in 14 starts at the track. His average finish at Bristol is 17.1, and he finished 30th earlier this season, his fourth finish outside of the Top 10 in the last five Bristol races.

Engine Failure Byron suffered an engine failure and finished 37th in the Cook Out Southern 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night.

Impact It would be a tough night at the track for the driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet. Byron would race among the Top 10 all night at Darlington and would look poised to grab a good finish in the Chase opener. However, his Chevrolet would suffer a spin on lap 315. Byron would refire the engine and get back underway, but something was clearly wrong with the engine. The catastrophic mechanical failure would saddle him with the disappointing DNF.
