Penske on new NASCAR champ Blaney: "His limits are the sky"
Blaney, a third-generation driver at the age of 29, won his first championship in NASCAR’s premier division in his debut appearance in the Championship 4. He defeated top drivers William Byron and Kyle Larson, who had impressive seasons with multiple wins. This victory marked Penske’s second consecutive Cup title and 44th overall for the organization. Blaney’s path to the championship resembled Joey Logano’s 2022 run, with both securing the title through clutch victories in the playoffs. He became the first driver to win the championship without winning the season finale under the current playoff format. Despite starting in a challenging position, Blaney showed his true mettle by making crucial passes to secure the championship. His impressive performance throughout the year, including wins at Talladega and close battles with Denny Hamlin in Florida, solidified his place as a rising star in the sport.
