Silly Season hit full stride on Wednesday as a surprise announcement from Team Penske and the Wood Brothers racing organizations made announcements. Roger Penske had hinted that his team was looking at a third car for Ryan Blaney, but when asked if it might be 2018, his only comment was it could be. This morning the answer changed to yes.
While this weekend’s race at Iowa Speedway will be only Ty Majeski’s second NASCAR start, it will mark the 600th start for Roush Fenway’s iconic No. 60 NASCAR XFINITY Series Ford.
Ryan Blaney and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team head back to Pocono Raceway this weekend hoping for a repeat of their performance there on June 11 when Blaney scored his first career Cup win and the Wood Brothers’ 99th.
