William Byron shared his plans for the Olympics break during the Indianapolis event. The driver for HMS has had his fair share of ups and downs this season. He started off strong with three impressive victories in the first eight races, but then faced a two-race slump with disappointing finishes. Although he has recovered from these struggles, he hasn’t been able to maintain the same level of consistency as before.
As he enters the Olympics break, William Byron is hopeful for a comeback. In the past ten races, he has finished outside the top-15 five times, with three of those finishes outside the top-25. Despite these challenges, he has also had three top-5 runs, highlighting the difficulties he faces when his car doesn’t suit his style.
Therefore, Byron sees the much-needed season break as an opportunity to recharge and reset his mindset. He is excited about the upcoming trip he has planned with his family and intends to work on both the physical and mental aspects of racing to improve before the next race in Richmond.
During his downtime, one of Byron’s favorite hobbies is building LEGO sets. This pastime caught the attention of NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon, who now shares the same obsession. Gordon jokingly referred to Byron as an “a**hole” for getting him hooked on this expensive hobby during a podcast episode.
While LEGO building may only bring satisfaction for most people, it has had a significant impact on Byron. He showcased his passion in the Full Speed Netflix Series, attracting a new group of fans who could relate to him. This also generated extensive publicity for him, which was a significant achievement.
In case you missed it, here’s a recap of the above information.
