Byron finishes 7th in AdventHealth 400 as All-Pro returns to Kansas Speedway

William Byron finished seventh in the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway on April 19, 2026, posting the strongest result of the season for the No. 24 All-Pro Auto Reconditioning Chevrolet.

Byron ran a clean race on the 1.5-mile oval in Kansas City, Kansas. The 267-lap event went without a natural caution until Cody Ware spun near the white flag, sending the race to overtime. Tyler Reddick took the overtime victory, collecting his fifth win of the 2026 season. Kyle Larson finished second, Chase Briscoe third, and Denny Hamlin fourth. Byron crossed the line seventh, ahead of teammate Chase Elliott in eighth.

An early-race incident brought Byron's name into the headlines before the finish. Contact between the No. 24 and JR Motorsports teammate Carson Kvapil's entry sent Kvapil into a rollover. Byron addressed it directly after the race:

“I was around the bottom, and I thought we were two-wide. I got tight late, and was leaving enough room for two-wide, then the third car came in there later than I expected and didn't leave enough room.”

The finish logged Byron's best result across the two APAR primary race weekends completed in 2026. The No. 24 All-Pro Chevrolet completed all scheduled laps at both COTA and Kansas without a mechanical issue.

Two primary race weekends remain on APAR's 2026 schedule: North Wilkesboro Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.
