Blaney turned his fastest lap at 188.055 miles per hour in his No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford. He is attempting to become the first driver to win for the Wood Brothers’ organization since Kyle Petty in 1987.
“That would be really special to be able to do that for the Wood Brothers,” Blaney said. “That would be really cool and then for it to be on the 30th anniversary of when Kyle won it would be even more special.
“I think we have the team to do it. We just have to do our jobs and stay in it for all 600 miles and position ourselves at the end of this race to have a shot at it.
