At Michigan International Speedway, William Byron and Kyle Larson showcased the full force of Hendrick Motorsports’ speed and precision, topping the charts during practice and qualifying sessions. Their performance underlines not only their individual driving talent but also the ongoing excellence of the Hendrick organization in developing competitive cars at high-speed tracks like Michigan.
Byron, who has steadily grown into one of NASCAR’s most consistent young stars, displayed remarkable speed and control around the 2-mile oval. His lines were clean, his pace relentless, and his communication with the team reflected a driver who is both confident and in sync with his crew. His performance in practice suggested he’s a legitimate contender, not just for the Michigan race but also as a serious playoff threat.
Kyle Larson, a past Cup champion, demonstrated once again why he’s considered one of the most naturally gifted drivers in the sport. Larson’s ability to push the limits while maintaining control allowed him to challenge for the top spot throughout the weekend. His aggressive style paired with Hendrick’s engineering brilliance resulted in some of the fastest laps turned at Michigan.
Hendrick Motorsports’ dominance in speed is no surprise, given their legacy and resources. But what sets this team apart is how they continue to innovate and adapt, year after year. With Byron and Larson at the helm, they look poised for another strong showing, not only at Michigan but throughout the season. Their speed at Michigan is more than a stat—it’s a signal of continued strength.
