Ohio native Ryan Blaney has won the Coca Cola 600
Ryan Blaney smiles in Victory Lane after winning a NASCAR Cup Series auto race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Monday, May 29, 2023, in Concord, N.C. Jumping into the crowd to celebrate a big race victory appears to have become a Team Penske thing.
“I only did it because Josef did it," Blaney said. "I was pretty fired up. I don't get that excited very often, but I was super pumped. I loved how Josef did it Sunday. ... I said, ‘I am going to go in the stands like Josef did and have some human contact.’”A few moments later, he tried to hold back tears with the weight of 59-race winless streak lifted from his shoulders.
“He's under a lot of pressure to perform,” Truex said. “They've won a lot of races since his last race. I'm sure he questioned himself through some point during that streak that he was on. He's had many opportunities to win and they've slipped away. Those are the hardest to think about so he's probably thinking, ‘we finally did it.’”“The pressure was on us to try to sweep the weekend,” said Blaney, who said he texted Newgarden after the Indy 500 win.
Blaney had passed Byron on the previous restart, and then got the jump on him again on the final restart and ran away with the checkered flag. Defending race champion Denny Hamlin was left fuming after his day ended with a wreck on lap 186, prompting him to call for NASCAR to suspend its most popular driver Chase Elliott.
