Ryan Blaney finished second to Christopher Bell in the race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but needed more laps to challenge for the win. Blaney’s car performed best on long green-flag runs, and the race restarted with only 25 laps to go. He attributed the cooler temperatures towards the end of the race as a disadvantage for his car’s front-end speed. Blaney had the second-most laps led in the race, with Kyle Larson leading the most laps until an incident between the two changed the dynamics. Blaney was hit by Larson, resulting in damage to Larson’s car, but it didn’t affect Blaney’s performance. Despite a disqualification and rescission earlier in the week, Blaney is now 10 points above the cutline for the championship contenders heading into the final race at Martinsville Speedway. He hopes to perform well and secure his spot in the championship race.
