Ryan Blaney Has Struggled To Figure Out Richmond
3 months agoRyan Blaney is one of the best racers in the NASCAR Cup Series at short, flat tracks, but for whatever reason, he hasn't been able to figure out Richmond Raceway. In 16 career starts at the track, Blaney has posted zero top-five results and has an average finish of 20.0. In the five Next Gen races at this track, his average running position of 14.81 ranks just 16th-best in the series, which is very surprising considering Blaney ranks third-best in that statistic on short, flat tracks in general this season. For Sunday night's Cook Out 400, the No. 12 Ford will start from 11th-place. And while Blaney could end up with a top-10 finish, it would be surprising to see him be a legitimate contender for the race win--or even a top five for that matter.
