Ryan Blaney Starts 11th At Michigan
4 years agoPenske Racing's Ryan Blaney will start from the 11th position in Saturday's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Blaney is coming off of two straight 20th-place finishes and will look recapture his form from Texas, where he led almost half of the race. Blaney has a modest record at Michigan. In 10 starts, he scored two top-fives and four top-10 finishes, with three of those top-10s coming in the Penske No. 12. Blaney was also very strong when the series went to Auto Club Speedway, before the pandemic. Auto Club is considered Michigan's sister track, being two miles long and very similar, and Blaney led 54 laps before a cut tire resulted in a poor finish. Blaney should have a solid day at Michigan, but he is very expensive in DFS. His cost may not end up being completely worth the selection, but Blaney is capable of winning.
