On Wednesday morning, Team Penske announced that it will be adding a third car to it’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series fleet, and Ryan Blaney will be behind the wheel.
The High Point, NC native has spent the last few years on loan racing for Wood Brothers Racing, a team that shares a technical alliance with Penske. But at the conclusion of the 2017 season, Blaney will say goodbye to the No.21 and hello to the No.12.
“This is a huge opportunity for me and my career,” said Blaney in a Team Penske press release. “I’ve always enjoyed racing whatever car I was in and trying to win each and every race.
