Ryan Blaney Kicks Off His Title Run in Phoenix

March 8, 2026 | Edition #635

Hey, NASCAR Fans!

Just a heads up. If you have plans to watch the Phoenix race later, this edition might spoil your fun. 

Ryan Blaney didn’t feel like he was himself last year. Mired by freak accidents and engine breakdowns, he couldn’t compete for the title. But this year is already looking bright, and he's already made a big leap in points with a win in Phoenix.

Blaney swept the Phoenix weekend for Team Penske after Josef Newgarden’s win.

Kyle Busch, Michael McDowell, Connor Zilisch, and others had to deal with flat tires during the race.

Was the Straight Talk Wireless 500 a Good Race?
