William Byron scores ‘proud’ runner-up finish at Iowa | NASCAR

winner at Iowa in the cup series was almost William Byron you were coming there at the end how many more laps did you need yeah we were pretty even you know he was on two tires so I think I had just a little bit fresher tire and uh was able to work the bottom through lap traffic okay and felt like I was making marginal gains uh through one and two and but my tires would get hot down there and I just would start sliding the the rears around a little bit on Entry so just um really good effort by our team um we struggled on Friday and then uh had a really good qualifying effort and then had a bad restart in the middle of the race that was terrible just didn't get the tires cleaned off and it was really weird tonight you know with a repave and seemed like the tires would um take a lap or two to go so once we figured that out we had some better restarts but just uh proud of this team you know we we definitely need to uh put together some consistent runs and this is a good start and um would love to be you know winning tonight but uh Ryan and those guys were were really good so congrats to them there were a lot of unknowns coming in William and then you talked about some weirdness I mean how many challenges were there out there tonight because you know in the end uh Tyler failure was not one of them but were you being careful no I mean you just kind of run it for all it's got but you try to stay conscious of it we never had Tire issues all weekend so just the restarts you know with with scuffed tires or new tires just sliding around for a lap and uh it's pretty hairy on the restarts you know just trying to get grip in the car so uh just going from here try to have a a good race at uh New Hampshire that's been a tough one and it's the best finish for you since Martinsville in April I know that's been a long time coming you guys have been working at it yeah we've been working hard uh I think we've had speed for most of the weeks maybe besides Gateway wasn't our best but uh last week could have easily been up in front and contending for a win but this is a really good start to put the whole race together and even you know through some adversity so really proud of that strong run tonight for William for
