Winning rookie driver to make appearance in Ignition Garage

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoff driver William Byron will participate in a question-and-answer session on Sunday, Oct. 20, in Ignition Garage at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.

Byron, who is in his second season at Hendrick Motorsports, won his first NASCAR Gander Outdoors Series race at Kansas Speedway in 2016.

The 21-year-old has captured the Rookie of the Year award in all three of NASCAR’s national series, and won the 2017 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship. Earlier this season, Byron started on the pole for the Daytona 500, his first career pole in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Byron is currently ninth in the point standings heading into this weekend’s race.

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoff driver Clint Bowyer will also participate in a question-and-answer session in Ignition Garage.

In addition to the question-and-answer sessions, fans with an Ignition Garage hospitality ticket will get a tour of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garage, a souvenir gift, food and beverage, and more. Ignition Garage tickets must be accompanied by a grandstand ticket or RV wristband.
