Ryan Blaney A Potential Favorite At Talladega
3 years agoRyan Blaney is the last Team Penske driver to win at Talladega during the fall. That happened in 2019 when he led 35 laps. Overall, Team Penske has won nine of the last 14 races at the superspeedway. Blaney followed up the fall 2019 win with a spring 2020 repeat when he led 63 laps. Talladega is like a sleeping giant. Blaney was looking to win a third straight race on the track when disaster struck during last fall's race. He crashed with eight laps to go. Fortunately, he starts fourth on Sunday, which is his best starting position since 2015. The build and downforce are two things Team Penske has a great feel for here.
