Kenny Wallace explains why fans have a problem with William Byron winning Cup races

William Byron has been making waves with his consistent victories. But while his triumphs have delighted some, they’ve also ruffled a few feathers. However, one former NASCAR driver, Kenny Wallace, is backing Byron with unwavering support after his recent dominant win at Watkins Glen.

Byron’s performance at Watkins Glen was nothing short of spectacular. He led a whopping 63 out of 90 laps, leaving competitors in his dust. A strategic pit-road move, capitalizing on a pit-lane violation by Michael McDowell, catapulted him into the lead, which he held onto with unyielding determination. Byron’s prowess behind the wheel was on full display, with Denny Hamlin unable to mount a serious challenge.

Byron’s success in the NASCAR Cup Series has been remarkable, boasting an impressive five wins in the current season alone. However, such frequent victories can sometimes stir mixed emotions among fans. Some applaud his talent and growth as a driver, while the young racer’s consistent success abacks others.

Kenny Wallace, currently enjoying a Sunday night in Cabo, Mexico, took to Twitter to voice his unreserved support for William Byron. In a video captioned “My opinion on Willaim Byrn winning NASCAR race,” he pointed out that people have problems with the HMS driving winning “because he looks like a child.” Wallace added that some might not see a race car driver when they see him.

He acknowledged the surprise that some might feel when they see Byron, a seemingly youthful figure, claiming victories consistently. Wallace didn’t mince words as he praised Byron’s driving skills and racecraft. He asserted that he might look like a young kid, “But let me tell you, he can drive.”
