Ryan Blaney Advances To Championship Finale
1 year agoRyan Blaney is now one of the four NASCAR Cup Series drivers that will compete for the 2023 Championship next weekend in Phoenix. He did this by delivering one of the most clutch performances of the season at Martinsville on Sunday, getting his first career victory at the track and automatically advancing on in the Playoffs because of that win. Blaney started back in 11th for Sunday's Xfinity 500 race but was able to make his way through traffic early and often. He ended up leading 145 of the 500 laps on the day. After the clutch performance, Blaney stated, "Yeah, just overall really proud of the whole effort. RP (Team Penske owner Roger Penske) couldn't be here, unfortunately, but I know he's watching. This is awesome. Can't wait to get to Phoenix next week."
