Ryan Blaney in Daytona
Austin Dillon, a driver with RCR, narrowly made it to the finish line and the playoffs in a decisive manner, with teammate Tyler Reddick playing a significant role. Other than the remarkable or disappointing race outcome, depending on whom you ask, Ryan Blaney’s selection for the playoffs over Martin Truex Jr. was another notable aspect of the race.
Truex Jr. and Blaney found themselves in a difficult and unpleasant scenario. Despite not having a victory this year, they both finished in the top 10 in the championship standings due to their consistency. But the pair’s consistency wasn’t enough; their 16th victory that wasn’t one of the two resulted in one of them missing the playoff, which took place in Daytona.
Following the crash on lap 31, which caused significant damage, Truex was riding around the front Toyota pack and was being repeatedly passed by Blaney as he tried to catch up. However, after the final restart of the race following the rain delay, the All-Star race winner found himself in the proper configuration and was able to outrun the No. 19 driver who was losing out on the draught.
