Nov 2, 2024
Ryan Blaney did it again. The Team Penske driver had a late-race rally at Martinsville Speedway as he blasted past Chase Elliott with 15 laps remaining to take the lead of the race.
Blaney wouldn't look back and would march to the race win over Elliott, and Kyle Larson. With the win, Blaney, the defending series champion, moves to the Championship 4 field at Phoenix and will battle for his second consecutive championship.
Along with Blaney, Joey Logano, Tyler Reddick, and William Byron will also battle for the title next weekend at Phoenix.
Here are the complete race results for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway, the 35th race of the 36-race NASCAR Cup Series season.
