An unprecedented third straight win in the Great American Race looms as a possibility as Speedweek winds down to Sunday. Last year, in dramatic fashion, Byron became just the fifth driver in the 67-year history of NASCAR’s biggest event to win it in back-to-back years.

Toyotas were in short supply during final NASCAR Cup Series practice for the DAYTONA 500. In fact, seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson was the only Camry driver to shake down his car during 50-minute session on Wednesday.

William Byron has already placed his name on the Daytona 500 trophy twice, and he has done it in a row. Across the race’s 68-year timeline, only five drivers have managed that feat, and Byron stands as the most recent addition to that group.
