William Byron clinched his second victory of the 2025 NASCAR season at the Iowa Corn 350, with a racing strategy that involved managing fuel while fending off a strong challenge from Chase Briscoe.

This win comes after Byron’s back-to-back victories at the Daytona 500 earlier this season, marking a significant moment in his racing career as he now leads the points standings.

Key Moments:

• Byron had to complete over 140 laps without a pit stop due to strategic fuel conservation after last stopping at lap 206 out of 350.
• A series of mid-race cautions aided his strategy, leading to a total of 12 caution flags in the race, which tied for the most in any Cup race this season.

“How about that for some fuel mileage?” Byron remarked during his post-race interview. “We’ve faced many challenges this year, and I’m grateful for my team.”

With this win, Byron now has an 18-point advantage over Chase Elliott, setting up an exciting finale as just three races remain in the regular season.
