CONCORD, N.C. – Based on his fast practice times and the fact that he won Saturday’s XFINITY Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Ryan Blaney rates as one of the pre-race favorites heading into today’s Coca-Cola 600 (5:30 p.m. ET on FOX).
But if he wins, which would give him his first victory in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, don’t expect a huge celebratory burnout.
For that matter, don’t expect a burnout at all.
Blaney didn’t do one after winning Saturday’s Hisense 300 – and afterward, he was glad to explain why.
“Everyone nowadays they go down and do big funky burnouts and tear their race cars up and burn the rear tires off of them and blow them out and ruin the motor,” said Blaney, who will drive the No.
