Ryan Blaney Might Look Past Charlotte Roval to Focus on Last Two Playoff Rounds
Since Ryan Blaney advanced to the Round of 8 via his win at Loudon, it would not be surprising if the No. 12 team looks past this week's race at the Charlotte roval to prepare for the Round of 8 and the Phoenix race as his teammate Joey Logano has frequently done in previous playoffs. Blaney did win his only road course race in the first Charlotte roval race in a very deus ex machina manner after Jimmie Johnson took himself and Martin Truex, Jr. out. Although he was typically fast here with the Gen 6 car, he's been fairly lackluster with the Next Gen with a best finish of 10th and a best average running position of 13th. Starting 11th, you can likely expect him to finish similarly, making him a solid but not stellar option. However, signing him for $8,000 could free up some money elsewhere if you want to take Shane van Gisbergen.
