2024 Daytona 500 will go down in history as one of the most thrilling races to date. William Byron, driving for Hendrick Motorsports, showed incredible skill and determination as he outlasted the late-race action to claim victory at the iconic event.
From the start, it was clear that Byron was a force to be reckoned with, consistently running near the front of the pack and making strategic moves to position himself for success. As the laps wound down and tensions rose, Byron remained calm under pressure, navigating through multiple caution periods and restarts with precision.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s triumph in 2014. It marked the first Hendrick 1-2 in the “Great American Race” since Jimmie Johnson bested Earnhardt to the stripe in 2013.

It's the first Daytona 500 win for Byron, who is becoming one of the sport's stars in his 20s.
The finish was controversial given the timing of the incident and the caution being put out, but should it have gone differently for NASCAR?

“I just gave him a hug and told him I’m proud of him and said that you know, we’re gonna be doing a lot of these Daytona 500s together,” Marks said after the two met in the No. 1 team’s hauler. “We’re going to have a lot of opportunities to win this race. I think everybody at Trackhouse, we do a pretty good job of managing our expectations and knowing that these races always come down to a game of millimeters at the end, and you have to shoot your shot. You have to go for it. I’m glad that he did. He’s in really good spirits. Probably already thinking about Atlanta.”
