CONCORD, N.C. – William Byron will be behind the wheel of the No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 through the end of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, after signing a new three-year contract with Hendrick Motorsports.
Through the first 11 races, Byron is tied for third in the Cup standings with two victories – making him one of only two drivers with multiple wins in 2022.
At age 24, he has already won 16 NASCAR national series races, including four at the Cup level, and one championship in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Byron is coming off his third consecutive Cup Series playoff appearance in 2021 when he posted personal records in nearly every major statistical category.
“I’m so thankful to continue racing for Mr. Hendrick, Jeff (Gordon, vice chairman) and Hendrick Motorsports,” Byron said. “Since I joined the organization, they’ve supported my growth process every step of the way, including my path to the Cup Series. With the great people around me, I’m excited to continue pursuing race wins and playoff success. Together we’ve built a No. 24 team that I know will contend for championships. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season and my years to come with Hendrick Motorsports.”
“William is a tremendous driver and a truly exceptional young man,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “As impressed as I am by his innate ability inside a race car, I admire his character and maturity even more. William is on an amazing trajectory, and I believe he’s only just begun to scratch the surface of his potential. We are fortunate to have him in our stable.”
