Dyer Chevrolet Vero Beach proudly celebrates William Byron’s victorious Daytona Win — achieved, of course, in a Chevrolet!
Enduring a rain-delayed start and an intense late-race battle to the finish, it was Team Chevy’s William Byron and the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Camaro ZL1 team that earned the title as the 2024 Daytona 500 Champions. Byron’s victory marked Chevrolet’s second consecutive — and 26th all-time — triumph in the “Great American Race”.
“Congratulations to William Byron and the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Camaro ZL1 team on their win in the 2024 Daytona 500,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Global Chevrolet. “Winning NASCAR’s most iconic race is a goal for Chevrolet each season, and we are proud to have William bring home our 26th victory in the Great American Race.”
The triumph marked Hendrick Motorsports’ return to victory lane in the Daytona 500 for the first time in nine years, with Bryon’s win taking the organization to a record-tying nine victories in the crown jewel event. Making the triumph even more special, the win came exactly 40 years after Hendrick Motorsports’ first-ever start in NASCAR’s top division to mark a storybook beginning to the organization’s anniversary season.
NASCAR’s season-opening weekend started with Chevrolet reaching a milestone feat at Daytona International Speedway with Nick Sanchez and the No. 2 Rev Racing Silverado RST team earning the manufacturer’s milestone 100th NASCAR victory at the famed 2.5-mile Florida Superspeedway in Friday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.
In addition to Byron’s Daytona 500 victory, fellow Team Chevy driver Austin Hill parked his No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Camaro SS in victory lane for the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ season-opener to cap off a weekend sweep for Chevrolet at the “World Center of Racing”.
Chevrolet is now the only manufacturer in NASCAR history to sweep all three NASCAR national series in a season-opening weekend at Daytona International Speedway more than once — also accomplishing the feat in 2018.
“The victory added to an already special weekend for Chevrolet at Daytona,” added Bell. “We are honored to have Nick Sanchez, Austin Hill, and William Byron add their names to an elite list of drivers who have taken Chevrolet to 102 NASCAR wins at Daytona International Speedway.”
The 2024 season continues for all three NASCAR national series at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, kicking off with a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 24, followed by the NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, Feb. 25.
Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world’s largest car brands. Chevrolet models include electric and fuel-efficient vehicles that feature engaging performance, design that makes the heart beat, passive and active safety features, and easy-to-use technology, all at a value.
