Blaney’s Overtime Triumph at Quaker State | Nascar News

Ryan Blaney clawed his way to victory at the Quaker State 400 after a dramatic, weather-delayed race that turned into a wild overtime showdown. Leading 171 laps, Blaney faced a late twist when Kyle Larson’s crash sent the field into overtime — and Carson Hocevar looked poised for his second career win. But Hocevar’s lack of track allies doomed him, as Blaney got the crucial push from Bubba Wallace and Christopher Bell to edge him out. Wallace, who finished second, was penalized for going off-course on the final lap, dropping him to 29th and boosting Bell to second — his fifth runner-up of the season. Hocevar took third. With Denny Hamlin still holding the points lead, Blaney is now in serious contention for the regular-season title. The next race? The Window World 450 at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday, July 19th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
