Blaney wins the 2022 All-Star Race
This year's NASCAR All-Star Race was unusual in that Ryan Blaney won for Wrangler Jeans. The format was controversial as drivers from the four different teams were required to drive a single car, but it was the team effort that won this race. Blaney sped to the victory by crossing the finish line twice despite running on the outside of the inside lane. Penske was also strong on the race day. Joey Logano and Austin Cindric were third and fourth respectively. But the team had a very difficult time qualifying for the Indianapolis 500. In 2022, Blaney became the only driver to do so.
Ryan Blaney was trying desperately to catch a vehicle in front of him, but he misplaced the window net. He was unable to retrieve the net in time so he had to maintain his speed. NASCAR said that it was okay for Blaney to continue, but Denny Hamlin said he had violated the rules. Blaney won the 2022 All-Star Race with the window net.
