Only a handful of races remain before the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series champion is declared. Meanwhile, Dale Earnhardt Jr and Dale Jarrett seemed to have omitted a Hendrick Motorsport star from their pick for the round of four. The fans, however, noticed that only Nate Ryan believed in Hendrick’s prodigy.

It seems that both former NASCAR drivers have managed to not keep William Byron in their top contention. Whereas, Nate Ryan who did not change his initial pick, which included Byron, appears as if he has already seen the future.
Fans React to Dale Earnhardt Jr and Jarrett Leaving William Byron Out of Their Picks
Fans spotted that the two former drivers had omitted William Byron from their pick and took over the comments to express their thoughts.
Fans believed that William Bryon did have a shot since he has historically been good at the upcoming tracks. Most of them agreed with Ryan’s original and current top-four pick since it had two Chevy drivers and two Toyota drivers in it.
Nate Ryan knew something nobody else did and I love him for it. I commend you @nateryan

Elliott, Hamlin, Logano, Byron Darkhorses: Bell and Blaney. I wanted to say Bell for final four, but Byron does decent in the tracks ahead.

I'm with Nate Ryan. I think it'll be 2 Chevy teams, Elliott for sure, Byron likely, one Toyota team, likely Hamlin & one Ford team, likely Logano. It could be Blaney & Bell instead but gotta lean with experience. Briscoe luck WILL run out & Chastain is still owed payback.

As long as Jr. doesn’t talk about it. Painful.
