Top-5 Finish in South Point 400 Byron finished fourth in the South Point 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Byron kept his championship hopes alive and well with a strong performance Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The Hendrick Motorsports star raced among the Top 5 all afternoon in this 400-mile battle, and despite only leading 1 lap he'd keep a presence among the leaders the full distance. The long green-flag run to the checkered flag would see him lock onto the rear bumper of Daniel Suarez and ride it to the finish. It was Byron's 12th Top 5 of the season.
