Video: Ryan Blaney’s Engine Grenades Late at Homestead

That’s a major heartbreaker for Ryan Blaney.

After a dominant performance during the first two-thirds of Sunday’s Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Ryan Blaney is out of the race with a major engine issue.

Blaney was sitting in third place and in touch with race leaders Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson, when the engine grenaded on his No. 12 Dent Wizard Ford Mustang Dark Horse.

The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion had paced the field in 124 of the race’s opening 210 laps, and clearly looked to be the fastest racecar on the track, having quickly run down the top two.

Luckily, despite the major cloud of smoke an copious amounts of fluid that was deposited from the back of the Team Penske machine, there was nobody else involved in the incident.

That’ll destroy any hopes of a solid finish for the No. 12, relegating Blaney back to a 36th-place finish.

“Nothing. I didn’t have any warning they just laid over. When I got back to wide-open down the front, and that was all she wrote. It just stinks, it really fast Dent Wizard Ford Mustang, led a lot of laps. We lost a lot of track position with the stuff on pit road, go back to third, it was really great racing between myself Bubba [Wallace], and Kyle [Larson].”

“Incredibly, incredibly fast racecar today. We’ll keep our heads up. It’s just one of those things where it’s not really going our way right now, but the good news is, we’re bringing fast cars. And that’s all you can ask for. So, we’ll keep on moving.”
