CONCORD, N.C. – William Byron will honor the late Neil Bonnett with his throwback scheme when the NASCAR Cup Series visits Darlington (S.C.) Raceway on Mother’s Day weekend. It will be the first time this year Valvoline has appeared on Byron’s Chevrolet. “It means a lot, I think, to have Neil Bonnett’s scheme (with) all that he accomplished in the sport, and just to touch on the legacy of the sport, in general, is really cool,” Byron said. “What’s cool about Neil is that he won the 1981 Southern 500, which is obviously a huge race and has always been,” Byron said. Byron then will don the Valvoline colors for the playoff race at the Charlotte Roval in October. “It’s great to have Valvoline on board,” Byron said.
