Ryan Blaney May Not Be Worth Picking at Phoenix
8 months agoThere is no such thing as a "sure thing" in NASCAR, but Ryan Blaney is close to that at Phoenix Raceway. Over the last five races in the desert, the Penske Racing driver hasn't finished worse than fourth, and he walked away with the Cup Series Championship after the fall race here last season despite starting back in 15th. He will have a similar hole to dig out of in this weekend's Shriners Children's 500, as the No. 12 Ford will roll off the grid from 16th when the race goes green on Sunday. Blaney had the sixth-fastest 20-lap average during practice here on Friday, though, so fantasy owners shouldn't be concerned for a good finish, but The Champ's $11,200 price tag on DraftKings may be a little too high for him to get into the optimal lineup unless he grabs some dominator points.
