NASCAR Atlanta: Byron survives late onslaught to win Cup race
Motorsport ImagesRetaining his lead through a debris caution, Byron then dropped towards the end of the second stage, but returned to the leading group in the final stage and cleared Aric Almirola to move to the front. At the 300-lap mark, Byron was still in control ahead of a quick-fire pair of cautions, and although Bubba Wallace was next to challenge after the restarts, the Hendrick driver held firm. Thus began the battle with the recovering Chastain, but Bell's baulk on the Trackhouse driver cemented the win in Byron's favour.
