William Byron wins eNASCAR Pro Invitational race at Bristol Motor Speedway

By Michael Heilman

William Byron dominated the eNASCAR Pro Invitational race at Bristol Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon leading 116 laps to victory. Before the race, drivers had to be qualified by competing in two heat races to set the field for the main race.

There was plenty of action early in the race as Bubba Wallace, and Clint Bowyer got together to bring out a caution. Shortly after the wreck, Wallace took himself out of the race.

Just like what you see on the actual Bristol Motor Speedway, there were tensions between Kyle Larson and Daniel Suarez when Larson hit Suarez in an early incident. Both drivers were parked for the remainder of the race.

As the race was near its finish, there was a battle for second place between John Hunter Nemechek, Timmy Hill, and Denny Hamlin. Nemechek just barely beat both Hill and Hamlin to finish in second place while Hill took third and Hamlin in fourth.
