The Hendrick Motorsports driver highlighted that so far he's had two good races in the first round. The best thing to do is to limit the damage and mistakes in the first round since something is changing in the tracks this year. In his statement, Byron said: “I think we need just one more solid, smooth race to say that we’ve turned things around from the summer. We’ve had two good races so far to open this round. It’s really about continuing to limit the damage and mistakes in the first round especially with how a lot of things are different this year.” Bryon continued to argue that “The competition seems to fluctuate more at different style tracks. It’s more about racing your own race and not the competition. You need to be the best version of yourself and can’t overthink too much. It’s race the way we know how and definitely not do anything too crazy right now to jeopardize that. We just need to make sure we continue to have all the little details buttoned up so we don’t cost us our own race and we’ll advance on.” William Byron's chief crew was in support of his statement. He explained that the race at Bristol is unknown as the Next Gen cars are yet to race on the concrete surface track. However, he is confident as they have a good starting point.
