Ryan Blaney

Early on, the #12 Menards Mustang lacked rear grip, but there wasn’t much tire falloff during the first stage. With others pitting, Blaney stayed on the track and finished the first stage in second. He stayed on the track once again during the stage break and took the lead when the race resumed and led nearly the entire second stage until coming to pit road for the first time with two laps to go in the stage. At the start of the final stage, Blaney wasted little time driving to the front, taking the lead on lap 51 before coming into pit on lap 54 for fuel only. Once all cars cycled through their final stops, Blaney found himself running second for the latter part of the race on tires much older than those around him. Several late cautions forced NASCAR overtime, and Blaney found himself on the bad end of a spin going into turn one. By the time he got the Menards Ford righted, he ended up 26th at the checkered flag.

He started 6th on the grid, led seven laps and completed 135 laps of the 160 run before exiting the race (Accident). He is currently 3rd in the standings, 111 points behind leader Chase Elliott.

He started 6th in the lineup, led two laps and completed all laps of the 260 run. He is currently 2nd in the NCS point standings, 47 points behind leader Chase Elliott who won the Atlanta race.

He started 19th in the lineup, led four laps and completed all laps of the 62 run. He is currently 2nd in the NCS point standings, 33 points behind leader Chase Elliott who finished 2nd in the Elkhart Lake race.
