Team Penske driver entered the Playoffs with only one victory on the season, 12th in the points.
When the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs began Labor Day weekend at Darlington Raceway, the sport’s pundits didn’t consider Ryan Blaney a threat to make it to the championship round. He entered the playoffs with only one victory on the season, 12th in the points and with only eight playoff points.Who's laughing now, as Blaney will join Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell and William Byron with a one-in-four chance to win the Cup Championship next week at Phoenix.
“Ultimately, our fate was sealed when that car’s steering belt came off last week,” said Hamlin, who entered Sunday’s Martinsville race 17 points below the cutline.Hamlin readily admitted he possessed the second-best car Sunday at the tough Martinsville short track even though he was the top lap leader, setting the pace on four occasions for 156 of the 500 laps.
