Top-5 Finish at Kansas Speedway Blaney finished fourth in the Hollywood Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Impact Blaney would start inside the Top 10 and race there all afternoon in this 400-mile playoff race. The Penske Racing star would almost see his Top-5 finish slip away when he had to have an unscheduled pit stop on lap 193 for a loose wheel. However, Blaney would rally back over the final 70 laps and establish Top-5 track position down the stretch. He'd hold off Ty Gibbs in the final laps and secure an impressive Top-5 finish at the Kansas oval.

Third in Quaker State 400 Blaney finished third in the Quaker State 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Impact The outside pole sitter would battle among the leaders most of this 400-mile Atlanta battle. Blaney led 33 laps and captured the win in stage 1. The rash of late cautions made for a chaotic ending, but gave Blaney a shot at the win. On the overtime restart, the Penske Racing star would push his teammate, Joey Logano, into the lead to stay. The last lap caution would end the racing just short of the checkered flag and Daniel Suarez would slide by just prior giving Blaney a strong third-place finish at Atlanta.
