| Expect some big things out of Ryan Blaney this season. |
The 150-miler changed the face of Sunday’s race, the first and biggest Monster Energy NASCAR Cup event of the year. Jimmie Johnson, William Byron and Brad Keselowski all were involved in major accidents in the 62-lap race, putting their teams to work on backup cars for Sunday.
Blaney, who moved to Team Penske this season after driving for the Wood Brothers, drafted with Darrell Wallace Jr., his best friend in the garage, at the front over the closing laps. Logano, who had dominated the race, edged Wallace for second at the line.
The victory earned Blaney the third starting spot in the 500. Alex Bowman won the pole Sunday, and Denny Hamlin will start second. The results of Thursday night’s first qualifying race completed the inside-lane portion of the starting lineup for Sunday’s race.
