Ryan Blaney’s first checkered flag in 68 career Cup Series starts gave Wood Brothers Racing its 99th all-time victory and third at Pocono.
Ryan Blaney s father Dave s career included hundreds of sprint car victories including every major event at least once and numerous series titles.
Blaney’s breakthrough day came despite an unscheduled stop for a loose wheel. It also came on the same day as Bubba Wallace made his Cup Series debut. Wallace finished 26th.
