WILLIAM BYRON, NO. 24 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY CAMARO ZL1 1LE – Pole Winner Quote
LISTENING TO HIS RADIO YESTERDAY AT THE BEGINNING OF PRACTICE, I DON’T THINK I WOULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS? WOULD YOU HAVE PREDICTED THIS BECAUSE I DON’T THINK YOU GUYS WERE IN THE BALLPARK OF A POLE YESTERDAY?
“Yeah, we struggled a little bit off the truck; but we had some good changes in mind and the No. 24 Liberty University Chevy was really fast in qualifying. We were fast in race trim in the last run and I feel like we just kind of went back to the basics on the road courses. We’ve struggled this year on the road courses and kind of got back to a basic setup and put it all together today.”
“Thank you to Rudy (Fugle, crew chief) and the guys for working really hard. Awesome to see Hendrick Motorsports 1-2 and on the pole. Great horsepower and great speed, so hopefully we can keep it up there.”
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT COME INTO PLAY WITH DRIVERS STILL LEARNING THE RACETRACK. YOU’VE GOT FAST GUYS, LIKE YOUR TEAMMATE CHASE ELLIOTT, AND KYLE BUSCH STARTING IN THE BACK, AND ALL THE STRATEGIES THAT COME INTO PLAY. IS THIS SETTING UP TO BE AS CRAZY OF A RACE AS IT FEELS LIKE IT IS RIGHT NOW?
“Yes, I think for sure. I think you’ve got two guys that are the best here with AJ (Allmendinger) and (Austin) Cindric; they’re really good at Road America. And you’ve got the rest of us that are pretty good here, too. (Kyle) Larson has been extremely fast on the road courses and Chase (Elliott), obviously. We’re just going to have to fight all day long and see what happens.”
