William Byron won his third NASCAR Xfinity race of the season on Saturday afternoon at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The No. 9 battled a wheel vibration for roughly the last 20 laps but was able to hold off 2011 Brickyard winner Paul Menard and 2016 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship runner-up Joey Logano for his first victory in his first race at the track.

Byron, 19, is the youngest driver to win at Indy. He won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship in 2015 in addition to winning the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year award in 2016. With the win, the No. 9 driver is well on his way to a potential Xfinity Series championship this season.

Byron took Stage 1 over Kyle Busch. Pole-starter and NASCAR Xfinity Series points leader Elliott Sadler won Stage 2 under caution after Justin Allgaier brought out the yellow. Allgaier appeared on his way to winning the stage, but a disastrous pit stop cost him playoff points and a finish at Indy.

Erik Jones took himself out of contention with a costly uncontrolled tire violation with 18 laps to go. Jones was in second place when he was forced to serve the pass-through penalty. At the very least, Jones accumulated valuable practice laps for Sunday's Brickyard 400.
