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 is a two-time Daytona 500 champion. Byron survived a last-lap crash that took out the other leaders in the front pack, then outlasted Tyler Reddick to the checkered flag to win on Sunday. Austin Cindric and Team Penske dominated the first 450 miles, but three separate multi-car crashes whittled the field down.
