Ryan Blaney Should Be A Contender At Talladega
2 months agoLook for Ryan Blaney and his No. 12 Ford for Team Penske to be strong at Talladega in the YellaWood 500 this weekend. Blaney is a constant front runner at the drafting superspeedways, as evidenced by his average finish of 14.36 at Daytona and Talladega since the debut of the Next Gen car. That average result is the third-best among Cup Series drivers. At Talladega specifically, Blaney has finished first or second in three of the last four races and has went to victory lane in three of his last 10 starts at the track. In the Next Gen car specifically, he has the best average finish (7.2) and the third-best driver rating. This weekend, Blaney qualified in fifth-place, though, so his Place Differential upside is very limited. Therefore, it's likely a better strategy call to go elsewhere in DFS contests as opposed to Ryan Blaney, especially considering his ownership will receive a bump up just because of how strong he runs on this track type.
