William Byron has faced some strong criticism following his second consecutive win at the Daytona 500, sparking a discussion regarding the role of luck in the race. He's been targeted by critics who argue that luck played a large role in his recent win. However, Byron has been nothing but amused over these claims.

William Byron beat a Jeff Gordon record Sunday. He also helped Hendrick Motorsports break a tie for first place in Daytona 500 wins.

Thanks to one more crash, Byron used a clean ride on his final lap to escape the chaos and race to his second straight Daytona 500 victory.
