After Josh Berry's Las Vegas Win, Ryan Blaney Should be a Top Contender
Although Ryan Blaney has led only 84 laps at Las Vegas, it still seems like he's kind of overdue for a win, here particularly after the 2020 race where he was leading when a caution came out with five laps left, which handed the race win to Blaney's teammate Joey Logano after Blaney pitted. After an unlucky start to the season, Blaney's luck has improved as the season has progressed. Although his race in March may have been his unluckiest of the season, the fact that the Penske and Penske-adjacent Fords were fast enough for Josh Berry to win means Blaney will likely have speed on Sunday in what is probably his best season to date. His high salary of $10,500 may keep him from being the absolute best option, but since he's starting 14th while the other likely winners are starting in the top 10, you could argue he might be.
