Chris Buescher and William Byron have this in common: Neither wants to declare himself the favorite heading into the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Both have a strong case, though.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Chris Buescher and William Byron have this in common: Neither wants to declare himself the favorite heading into the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.. Byron, meanwhile, has a series-leading five victories and is tied for the points lead with Martin Truex Jr. as the postseason begins at Darlington Raceway next Sunday.“I think we’re a contender,” Buescher said after leading RFK Racing to its first 1-2 finish in more than nine years. “We still have work to do.
“I feel like I’m not able to get up here and quite say that, ‘Yeah, this is ours; it’s in the bag,’” he said. “There’s been definitely several teams that have been very stout this season.” The 25-year-old Byron is in the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year, coming off a career-best sixth in 2022. But his five wins this season are more than he managed in the previous five years combined.
The 30-year-old Buescher is returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. He finished last among the 16 contenders that season with Front Row Motorsports, which maintained an alliance with Roush Fenway Racing. Buescher eked out a postseason spot by winning a fog-shortened race at Pocono Raceway.
“The bigger picture is to have a sustainable race team that can win championships for years to come, be a perennial championship contender. Today was good progress for that.”
