Ryan Blaney Has A Bad Record At Richmond
4 years agoPenske Racing's Ryan Blaney will start from the 15th position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Blaney is coming off of a dreadful weekend in Darlington, where he was penalized 10 points before the race even began. The race went no better, and Blaney finds himself in the hole to advance in the playoffs. Unfortunately, it doesn't get any better for Blaney. Richmond has been Blaney's worst track on the Cup circuit. In eight starts, Blaney's best finish is only 17th, and he has an average finish of 25.5. Blaney would have upside in DFS, but his atrocious track record is tough to overlook. He also has a pretty high salary, so it is safe to say that Blaney should be avoided for this race, as the No. 12 team tries to work through adversity.
