William Byron

William Byron fascinates me as a sign of where motorsport is heading. He famously sharpened his instincts on racing simulators before ever climbing into a real stock car, and now he runs the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports at the front of the NASCAR Cup Series. There is something refreshing about a driver who is cerebral rather than reckless, who studied at Liberty University and even earned Eagle Scout along the way. He represents a new, disciplined generation of athletes, and I am genuinely curious how far that blend of digital-age preparation and old-fashioned diligence can carry him.
