Ryan Blaney’s Team Unlikely To Focus On This Race
1 year agoHaving advanced to the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs with his win at Talladega last week, Ryan Blaney gets a breather and doesn't have to worry about the Charlotte ROVAL race. Blaney has not run well on road courses this season with an average finish of 21.4 and a speed percentile of 39.14% on road courses (which only ranks 23rd among Cup Series regulars), so he would have been highly vulnerable to be eliminated tomorrow had he not won at Talladega. Given his poor road course record this season and the fact that Penske seems to be slow on road courses this season, he's unlikely to do well.
