Nascar – Ryan Blaney with the Wood Brothers in 2015

Ryan Blaney is the first beneficiary of the alliance between Team Penske and Wood Brothers Racing. The current leader of the Truck Series, who has also been a development driver for Roger Penske's team since 2012, will be able to prove himself in the premier category of the Nascar next year by driving the No. 21 Ford entered by the WBR for at least 12 events. The young American will even take the wheel of this car this weekend in Michigan, taking part in practice and qualifying, replacing Trevor Bayne selected for the Nationwide event held at Mid-Ohio.

The son of Dave Blaney, who is still active this season in the Sprint Cup, delights the leaders of Wood Brothers Racing. His participations in Daytona 500, Las Vegas, Texas, Talladega, Charlotte, Michigan and even Indianapolis have already been confirmed. “Ryan is a third generation driver and he is one of the best in the field. He has achieved victories with many different cars from a young age and we hope he continues this trend with us. »
