2023 NASCAR Cup Series results: William Byron wins in Texas

William Byron secured his place in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs by winning at Texas Motor Speedway.

Byron passed leader Bubba Wallace and Ross Chastain with six laps remaining.

The result was Rick Hendrick's 300th NASCAR win.

Kyle Larson, Byron's teammate, looked on course to take the win for himself but his four-second lead vanished as a result of the caution from JJ Yelley's car. Larson spun after the restart.
