William Byron Debunks NASCAR Myth Despite Hendrick Motorsports’ 2022 Domination: “Nobody Has a Great Handle on This Car Yet”

It’s a Hendrick Motorsports world and we’re just living in it. In the last few seasons, more so in the last couple, the NASCAR Cup Series team has absolutely dominated the rest of the field. However, this year, there’s a sense of maturity, a sense of having figured things out, something which the youngest HMS driver William Byron described.

“Honestly, I think the results have shown good things, but it’s been hard. Nobody has a great handle on this car yet,” Byron said of the difference between the previous and the current season. “I’d say last year this time we were more dominant than we’ve been so far. But the results and the law of averages have worked out in our favor this year so far.”

The #24 driver described how last season, they were “dominating races”, but they were still finding ways to lose while this year, they’re more “used to winning” and putting themselves into positions to do so, to “capitalize as race teams.”

“I think there’s still a lot to learn, lot to continue to get better on. But so far, so good in the results category for sure and in the points category too,” he continued.

“We just gotta kinda keep figuring out this car and as we get closer to the playoffs, hopefully that’s the case.”

Joey Logano urges William Byron to move past the Darlington incident

William Byron wasn’t a happy man after Joey Logano bumped him from behind to take the win at Darlington. Because of this, there were a lot of theories hovering around the NASCAR community of Byron taking his revenge on Logano at some point, even Jeff Gordon suggested the same.

However, Logano is of a different opinion.

All the Team Penske driver wants the Hendrick youngster to do, is to move past what happened, since they’re “even.”

“My opinion (is), we’re even. You got me, I got you, move on,” Logano said in a recent interview to fellow driver, Corey LaJoie. “Just because you get wrecked or something like that, doesn’t mean you wreck them back.”

Logano admitted that while every driver keeps “a tally” of some kind, what’s more important, what’s “key“, is how they handle such situations.
