William Byron was the third surprise winner through three races this season with his victory Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Byron joined Michael McDowell and Christopher Bell as unlikely winners to start this season. Byron controlled most of the final two stages at Homestead to win for the second time in 111 Cup starts. This rare run already has tightened the playoff race less than a month into NASCAR’s long season. Few could have predicted this trio would have put a squeeze on some of NASCAR’s top teams.
