Despite Greatness At Phoenix, Ryan Blaney Has Never Won In The Desert
9 hours agoIf we were to tell you that there was a driver who hasn't finished worse than fifth in the last seven races at Phoenix Raceway, a normal reaction would be, "well he has definitely won at least one or two of those, right?" Unfortunately for Ryan Blaney, that answer is no. Some how, some way, he is still searching for his first victory at Phoenix Raceway despite entering this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 with a seven-race streak of top-five finishes at the track -- including four runner-up results over the last five. Now the question is, will Blaney finally break through and get a win this weekend? It certainly wouldn't be surprising. The No. 12 Ford was one of the strongest on the long runs during practice on Saturday, as Blaney looked solid when it came to tire fall-off and ranked inside the top five when it came to 15-, 20-, 25-, and 30-lap average. With his track history and strong practice times, Blaney is an excellent fantasy choice all around, especially in DraftKings since he qualified 12th and has some place-differential upside to go along with it. Even at $10,800, Blaney is a very good DFS option this weekend.
