Ryan Blaney Wins At Martinsville And Has Chance To Earn Second Straight Championship
2 weeks agoRyan Blaney will be defending his Cup Series Championship at Phoenix next weekend after all. Despite a disappointing second-place finish at Homestead just one week ago, Blaney put on a very impressive effort at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday afternoon to grab his second straight win in the fall race at the track while simultaneously punching his ticket into the Championship Finale at Phoenix next weekend. He entered the race in a "must win" situation to advance in the playoffs. Blaney's No. 12 Ford was clearly the best on the long run in Sunday's Xfinity 500 race at Martinsville, and that speed showed as he beat Chase Elliott by 2.593 seconds to grab his third win of the season. "We'll try to go back-to-back next week," Blaney said with a smile on his face when being interviewed after his clutch win at Martinsville on Sunday.
