Ryan Blaney Secures First NASCAR Championship, Marks Roger Penske's Back-to-Back Titles

Blaney's victory also contributes to Team Penske's historic win of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day earlier this year.

Ryan Blaney wins his first NASCAR championship, contributing to Roger Penske's first back-to-back NASCAR titles.
Blaney and his IndyCar teammate Josef Newgarden became the first Team Penske drivers to win the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day in May.
Penske's organization has seen global success in the past six seasons, including 12 championships, 148 race wins, and 139 poles.
Blaney's breakthrough came in 2017 at Pocono when he beat Kevin Harvick for his first Cup win for Penske.
Blaney's father had him tour all the big teams in 2012 in search of his next move in NASCAR, eventually landing him a spot with Penske.
