Ryan Blaney Wins Second Straight at Phoenix Raceway

2026-06-26 · Ryan Blaney · Match Report

Ryan Blaney won his second straight race at Phoenix Raceway, starting fifth and running through the pack twice to claim the top spot.

What happened?

Blaney's win was extra special, as it completed a sweep for Team Penske in the first-ever NASCAR/IndyCar doubleheader on an oval track.

The race details

He passed 49 cars and was involved in several front row and second row restart battles in the tail end of the final stage.

Blaney's teammate Joey Logano had a tough day, accidentally spinning Ross Chastain into Anthony Alfredo and ending their day.

The championship standings

With his win, Blaney moves to second behind Tyler Reddick in the championship standings, cutting his points lead to 60.

Christopher Bell finished second, bringing him up 18 positions to sixth in the standings.

Blaney was held up after falling back on two restarts, but he made quick work of Ty Gibbs to take the lead with 10 laps to go.

The final result

Bell held on to second, and Kyle Larson finished third, with Larson stating that his team doesn't have a chance to win outright at Phoenix without the help of tire strategy and pit road gambles.

The JGR Toyotas of Gibbs and Denny Hamlin completed the top five, with Bubba Wallace, William Byron, and Tyler Reddick following.

Reddick's win streak ended, but he stays the only driver to finish every race in the top ten with his eighth-place finish.

Michael McDowell and Erik Jones completed the top ten, with Shane van Gisbergen rebounding from two crashes to finish 11th.
