William Byron needed a much-anticipated break, especially after the Championship 4 title slipped off his hands again. The season was stressful for him after he got embroiled in a massive controversy suggesting that he manipulated the race. It was suspected that his two Chevy mates, Ross Chastain and Austin Dillon provided him with the much-needed assistance by blocking other cars in the race.
He entered the Championship 4 without winning playoffs. Despite this, luck did not favor him. However, now that the season is over, Byron has been blowing off much-needed steam in Japan. Sharing the beautiful pictures, Byron posted, “Japan. So thankful for this experience, culture and the people. Back home for the holidays. Merry Christmas 🎁”.
