SPARTA, Ky.
Paul Krause Vikings Jersey . -- Ryan Blaney
provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. 22 Ford can win no matter whos
driving. Blaney earned his first Nationwide Series victory and another win for
the teams Mustang, holding off Austin Dillon and surviving several late cautions
to win Saturday nights 300-mile race at Kentucky Speedway. Blaney, who drives
for Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski in the Camping World Truck Series, used
his second start in the No. 22 to claim the cars 10th victory of 2013 and a
season sweep at Kentucky. Keselowski drove the car to victory in June. Blaneys
win included tense moments over the final 40 laps, from beating Dillon off pit
road with a two-tire stop on lap 166 to reclaiming the lead from Dillon after
losing it on the restart. More tests followed, including a near-brush with
teammate Sam Hornish Jr.s loose Ford and one final restart. "We just had an
awesome, awesome Mustang," Blaney said. "The team just kept getting the car
better and better and as the race went on. Those restarts were tough. Luckily, I
had a good enough car to hold them off." Matt Crafton was third, Hornish fourth
and rookie Alex Bowman fifth in a Toyota. Dillon shaved two points off Hornishs
series lead and trails by just 15 with six races remaining. Getting closer to
Blaney was out of the question for Dillon and just about anyone in contention.
Hornish gave it a shot late in the race before that late wiggle left him
settling for his 21st top-five finish of the season. Dillon had hope on several
restarts, only to let the son of NASCAR veteran Dave Blaney quickly snatch it
away on several late restarts. The final one typified the futility: Blaney
blasted out on lap 191 to open up a three car-length lead and didnt look back.
"He did everything right," Dillon said of Blaneys restarts. "He did everything
he could to hold me off and the car was better once he got out front for sure. I
felt like if we couldve got out front we could hold him off for eight laps, but
disappointed that we couldnt quite clear him." Hornish led 65 laps after
starting on the pole, while Dillon led 32. Beating the No. 22 has been tough for
everybody this season. Three other drivers have reached victory lane in it this
season, including Keselowski, whos racing in this weekends Cup series race in
Loudon, N.H. Blaney, who won a Trucks race in Iowa last year, became the fourth
in just his 15th start. Crew chief Jeremy Bullins kept him calm and focused over
the radio, and the only direction he ever really needed was to victory lane
after taking the checkered flag. The points race meanwhile saw little change.
Hornish entered Saturday looking to widen his edge on Dillon, who came into the
series final stand-alone race seeking his third Nationwide victory in four
Kentucky starts. He helped his prospects Saturday afternoon by clocking 179.235
mph to claim his third pole this season and leading Penskes front-row sweep with
Blaney (178.159) taking the outside spot. Dillon was close by in the third spot
with a run of 178.042 mph in his Chevy. With Cup regulars racing this weekend in
New Hampshire, 41 drivers had the track to themselves, and Nationwide contenders
did their best to exploit the freedom. Hornish and Dillon in particular looked
forward to racing all-out here, with the points leader especially eager to
follow up Junes ninth-place run. After the start was delayed briefly to allow
track dryers to blow away some weepers, Hornish went about proving how good his
Mustang was. He led the first 65 laps before his teammate won the race off pit
road during the third caution and led on the restart. Dillon was second and
needed only a lap to move in front -- on lap 68 -- and add another chapter to
his impressive Kentucky resume. He led the next 32 laps before Blaney took the
first of two leads to establish himself as the best driver in the best car. "Im
a pretty lucky guy and privileged to have the drivers we have," Bullins said. "I
dont think we have any slouches, so I dont have any complaints about my driver
lineup. Ive got it pretty good. Tonight was another example of that. "We brought
a good car, and we got somebody driving that knows what to do with it and was
able to get the job done."
