3 years agoRyan Blaney figures to be in the heart of contention by late in Stage 1 or earlier on Sunday at Talladega. Blaney has shown the mettle to charge up the field before on the 2.66-mile course. He has three top-ten results and two wins in the last six appearances. Blaney was lightning fast even last year at Talladega but rain shortened the Fall race to just 118 laps. The No. 12 Ford is among the best lap leaders too at 11.4%. There is little doubt that Blaney will get up to the front. It is just will he stay there on Sunday. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
