The NACAR Cup Series race at COTA was won in dominating fashion by Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron. Moreover, the driver seemed to be in control throughout the race and really showcased his racing acumen throughout the road course race. He started the race on pole and went on to secure the trophy after overcoming a masterful late charge by Christopher Bell.

After the race, Vice Chairman of Hendrick Motorsports and four-times NASCAR Cup champion Jeff Gordon showered a lot of praise towards Willaim Byron. Gordon, who won his championships with the same team number, commended the driver on his performance throughout the weekend and spoke about he how is doing something really special and leading the HMS to a new direction. 

To go out there and win a pole and then dominate the race the way they did. But also there were some challeneges thrown their way with some of the strategy that got mixed up, The guys were just solid on paper, William just never made a wrong move and obviously had a good race car. Love seeing them get it together and accomplish the win. This team is, they are doing something very special right now.
Jeff Gordon told SiriusXM NASCR Radio.

Jeff Gordon seemed to be really impressed by Byron. If the American continues performing like this throughout the season, then just like he did last season, a maiden Cup Series title is a lot closer for the youngster. This win also is a proof of Byron’s dominance in the Next-Gen era as he has been the first driver to win multiple races in the three seasons of the era.
