Byron’s Lap Behind Briscoe | Nascar News

William Byron looked poised for victory at Chicagoland Speedway, leading the most laps—until a strategic pit call by crew chief Rudy Fugle left him a lap behind Chase Briscoe, who pitted one lap earlier on fresher tires. Briscoe capitalized on the clean air and momentum, overtaking Byron in the final 50 laps. Byron admitted Briscoe’s team was simply faster, and despite giving it his all, he couldn’t match their pace. Fugle took responsibility, acknowledging they missed the ideal pit window by a small margin and are focused on refining their strategy. Though the win slipped away, the No. 24 team proved their speed on intermediate tracks and is building momentum ahead of the playoff stretch.
