From what I can tell no...Im curious how Liberty came into contact with JR Motorsports to sponsor his late model (wouldnt be surprised if this leads to him becoming a student in some aspect...he is 16 according to the piece on the website)

Seems like I remember a FB post from a Liberty department inviting us to follow him. I might be wrong, it could have been someone else. I saw it several months ago. Another good way to get the name out there.

As young drivers try to make a name for themselves in the highly competitive world of NASCAR, they are remaining focused on their education at the same time.

When William Byron sat in his classroom at Charlotte Country Day last Monday he heard everyone buzzing about the big wins for the school's sports teams. Sitting in the back of the room, the high school senior couldn't help but think about his big weekend.

While his classmates were busy competing against other schools, Byron was racing around Dover International Speedway, putting the finishing touches on his championship season in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. But when he got to class Monday morning, few of his fellow classmates knew what he had accomplished.

He's the real deal. He came by the alumni social this year at Homecoming. It was great watching him engage with our alumni in attendance. What I love the most is that his family has been connected to Liberty for years, well before driving.

Talked with him earlier this year at a K&N Pro Series East race. Very personable kid.
