NASCAR Cup Series: Ryan Blaney not the big winner at Pocono

Jimmie Johnson is returning to the NASCAR Cup Series for his first start since the Coca-Cola 600 in late May. On Sunday afternoon, Johnson will attempt to win his fifth Brickyard 400 as NASCAR returns to the oval layout at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. NASCAR has run the road course layout in the Cup Series since the 2021 season.
Johnson’s last race at Indianapolis occurred in 2019, as he was forced to sit out in 2020 due to COVID-19. Johnson has won the Brickyard in 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2012. The seven-time Cup Series dominance at Indianapolis ended after the 2013 season, only leading four laps in his last six races. However, Johnson will look to turn it around at Indianapolis on Sunday.
In fact, the Legacy Motor Club co-owner wants to improve on his personal best in the NextGen car. Johnson’s best finish is 28th place in the NextGen car at the 2024 Daytona 500 and Dover Motor Speedway. The NASCAR Hall-of-Famer may be running upfront as much, but anything is possible at the Brickyard 400 as NASCAR returns to the oval.

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.

Busch, who had struggled to crack the top 25 throughout much of the race’s opening 100 laps, was running around 16th place on the restart, when contact from Corey LaJoie sent the No. 8 spinning to the inside of the racetrack, and back up into traffic, collecting several others.

Corey LaJoie said he would not have done anything differently on the restart where he spun Kyle Busch going into Turn 1 at Pocono Raceway. “You’ve got to take the run,” LaJoie told NASCAR.com. “I’m not the guy that wants to wreck anybody but I think if Kyle blocks only once, then we both go around the corner and live to fight another day. But that second block that he thought he had covered and he didn’t, was what did him and did a couple of other guys in.”
