Leading a race-best 212 laps, HMS William Byron held off an overtime charge from Team Penske Joey Logano to win at Martinsville Speedway Saturday night.
Byron became the first repeat winner of the Cup Series season so far. The Hendrick Motorsport driver picked up his fourth career win.
Byron dominated much of a somewhat tame race, leading 212 of 403 laps, however a late caution sent the race into a two-lap overtime and bunched the field one last time.

Chad Knaus was in the Fox Booth, who is also the Vice President of Competition at Hendrick Motorsports made a bold statement live on air but was cut short immediately with a commercial.
“Racing went to shit when they got rid of the ride height rules” said Knaus
Chad Knaus had the balls to say the racing went to shit when they got rid of the ride height rules made my year. That's why FOX went to a commercial right after to break Chads knees with a bat for speaking the truth. THANK YOU CHAD

Chad Knaus was a fan favorite as many requesting him to be back in booth after Martinsville.
Also Chad Knaus if you ever don’t wanna keep doing what you’re doing at HMS please consider broadcasting!
By far my favorite guest in this rotation so far.

The fact that Chad Knaus called NASCAR out in the booth tonight regarding the short track package is big.
And now some of us are wondering if he'll be allowed back in the booth after that https://t.co/gr1yiAtUQW

Another boring race. The #NextGenCar is totally disappointing! I would much rather watch the #XfinitySeries or Truck Series! Even ARCA! Watching @ClintBowyer and Chad Knaus in the booth was more fun then this race! @MartinsvilleSwy @NASCARONFOX @NASCAR #NASCAR

@chadknaus, excellent job in the booth. Best “guest” they’ve had this year by far. Thank you for not being Hendrick bias when you could be. Hope you do more this season. Sincerely, a Ford fan.

Chad Knaus replaced Tony Stewart in booth serving as an analyst for the Fox Booth for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas.
Chad in the booth was way more exciting than that boring race, even the end was a not worth staying up for. Chad and Clint were great together!
You are absolutely right. I love Chad . And thought I was bias. But he rally was great in the booth
Just about the most boring race to date! Only worthwhile passing was on pit lane! NASCAR has succeeded in screwing up all forms of racing now. First restrictor plates make follow-the-leader racing for all but 5 laps, no this on the short track! Guess I’ll start watching the auction channel on Sundays!
went to bed at 10:30. like watching paint dry…
Racing this year is very boring !Winning by pit strategy should not be the norm.We will continue to watch but if the passing doesn’t get better we will be turning the channel!
I don’t like the new cars at all. Just who is NASCAR trying to appeal to? 18-inch wheels with knock offs?What’s next, replacing the steering wheel with a joy stick and air jacks under all four wheels? Bring back four barrel carbs and make these people work for it.
Want to make racing interesting again? Take away the power steering
I feel asleep before half way through the race……. hasn’t been good since daytona2001…….
That race changed NASCAR forever. I was there and NASCAR has never been able to recover from it.
Nascar racing has gone to the Dogs …. Plates, Stages, way to many caution flags & nobody can get out of each others way anymore, Each new next Gen car is very BORING … Go back to the 60’s 70’s 80’s style of racing or go Home !!!
It’s been over 20 yrs, I think it’s time to get over it
They got Bubba his win last year. Let’s get back to racing real cars….
No the rain did.
Nascar went woke.. Whats worse than listening to a woman do her best to sound tough.. Totally boring.. The races are overly effeminate.. Tony Stewart has no business broadcasting to anyone or thing.. I saw a boy die and Stewarts temper was involved..
Your an idiot talking about Tony’s accident The guy should have not got out of the car and should not have walked down the track they were all told before the race to stay in your car unless it’s life threatening wait for the safe team , he didn’t
NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) Now that the lug nuts are a thing of the past is there anything on these cars that is stock? It should be NAFSCAR (National Association for Fake Stock Car Auto Racing). You can’t tell one make car from the other unless you can see the little decal on the fake front grill.
bring back the old Winston cup rules package & points system .
