LOND POND, Pa. (AP) — Ryan Blaney still feels like the “silly, quiet kid” he was at 23 when he blazed past Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch over the final 10 laps in 2017 at Pocono Raceway to win a NASCAR Cup race for the first time. At times, not much in life has changed for Blaney. “I still drink a lot of beer,” Blaney said, before waiting a beat, “probably more.” Blaney chuckled at the thought, but the reality is, at the track he’s long outgrown the mold of a rising NASCAR star. At 30, he’s a certified one as a NASCAR champion and serves as a bit of an elder statesman, promoting the sport this week coast-to-coast from the ESPYS to the “ Today ” show.

Cole Custer broke his Xfinity Series dry spell at Pocono Raceway on Saturday, July 13th, 2024, putting the No. 00 NASCAR Ford Mustang Dark Horse across the line in first. Custer beat close championship contender, Justin Allgaier, driver of the No. 7 Chevy Camaro SS, to the stripe by 0.670 seconds, holding him off after a late-race restart with just nine laps left on the board. The win marks Custer’s 14th in the division and his second at Pocono, following his 2019 victory at the “Tricky Triangle,” and his first since winning the championship race at Phoenix in November 2023.
