A frustrating summer for William Byron added another chapter on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway when he lost a left rear wheel and crashed into the Turn 3 wall while running fourth on Lap 233.
Byron had already been hovering around seventh in the championship standings before a summer swoon that has dropped him to 12th. He is locked into the Chase for the Championship but the fall has cost him a deficit that would have been around 55 points behind Denny Hamlin instead of what could be 75-85.
