Ryan Blaney Wins Talladega, Advances To Round Of Eight
1 year agoRyan Blaney has punched his ticket to the next round of the Playoffs. He led just eight of the 188 laps in Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, but he led the one that mattered the most: the last one. With this win, Blaney now joins William Byron as the only two Playoff drivers who are guaranteed a spot in the next round. This is Blaney's second victory of the season and his third win of his career at Talladega. After the race, he stated, "I won it by more than I had the last couple years," Blaney said with a laugh. "You just don't know. You have to drag race to the line and hope you get help. William (Byron) gave me a pretty good shove on the bottom."
