Blaney races to first Cup win of year at Nashville
Briefly

Ryan Blaney finally achieved victory at the Nashville Superspeedway, marking his first Cup Series win of the year and the 14th win of his career. Despite an eventful season with five top-five finishes, Blaney had struggled with bad luck. His victory reinforces Team Penske's strong performance, as he became the ninth different winner this season. Denny Hamlin made history by finishing third in his 700th career race, while Carson Hocevar celebrated a career-best finish in second place.
I'm ready to go celebrate. I never gave up hope that's for sure. We've had great speed all year. It just hasn't really been the best year for us as far as good fortune.
Either I'm really dramatic or they're really good on adjustments. Probably a little bit of both, but, yeah, proud of this group proud of this car. A place that is really, really difficult to pass, we're able to go 26th to second.
