In the Cup race at Circuit of the Americas, there were both winners and losers. William Byron emerged as a winner, claiming his second victory of the season and becoming the first driver to win two races in three consecutive years. He also has the most wins in the Next Gen car since its debut in 2022.
On the other hand, there were some losers from the race. Michael McDowell had a disappointing finish of 38th due to power steering failure, marking the second time this season he has finished 35th or worse. Noah Gragson finished in 34th place, continuing a trend of finishing poorly in multiple races this season. Harrison Burton finished in 30th place, with five finishes outside the top 27 in six races.
In addition to these losses, Justin Haley’s car was disqualified after post-race inspection, which affected the finishing positions for Michael McDowell, Noah Gragson, and Harrison Burton.
Despite these setbacks, there were still some strong performances from other drivers. Ty Gibbs came in third, marking his fifth consecutive top-10 finish and moving up to second in the season standings. Alex Bowman finished fourth, while Kyle Busch finished ninth.
