Byron went Late Model racing with JR Motorsports at Hickory Motor Speedway in 2014, winning a race and finishing second to teammate Josh Berry in the track championship that year. Byron also competed full-time with JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2017, winning the series championship.
Byron has three previous starts with the CARS Tour, all in its former Super Late Model division. Byron won at Hickory on May 9, 2015 in a CARS Super Late Model event, finishing ahead of Chase Elliott.
Both the Late Model Stock Cars and the Pro Late Models for the zMAX CARS Tour will be on track on July 3 at Caraway Speedway. For more information, visit carsracingtour.com.
As far as his current day job goes, Byron has had an impressive 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season to date. The driver of the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is tied for the series-lead in victories with three, and he sits fourth in the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season championship standings with just nine races left until the Playoffs begin.
Byron is coming off of a runner-up finish in Sunday night’s Iowa Corn 350, the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series event at the 0.875-mile Iowa Speedway.
