Ryan Blaney returns to winning ways in the NASCAR Cup Series in the inaugural race at his home ༺circuit in Iowa.

The reig♒ning NASCAR Cup Series Cha♒mpion is back in Victory Road once again and gets to celebrate his first win of 2024 at home. Blaney has also become the first driver to win a Truck Series race, a Xfinity Series race and a Cup Series race at Iowa.

After the race, Blaney was asked by NBC Sports whether this race win feels a bi🌼t more special than his ten other career wins:

“Definitely. What a cool way to win here. This place means a lot to me, it means a lot to my mum, we have a lot of people here tonight cheering us on they willed us to ꦏthat one.

“Our car was really fast all night, we got a little better through the night. The two tyres were a good call there at the end, I didn’t know😼 how well they were going to hold on I started to struggle at the end, so I had to hang on.”

With the Iowa Speedway being his home circuit Blaney was asked about the support he received at the track from his fans and his family this 🦂weekend:

“I am looking forward to seeing them, it is always good to have family here. I have𒆙 been super lucky to have family that support me through my career. It is great that they are still supporting me just as mu🎶ch as on day one.”

Through🐭out his career, the 30-year-old has barely gone over the top with his celebrations to the point where he barely does a burnout after a race win. However, that changed tonight as Blan♉ey treated his home fans to a burnout:

“It is my home track I have got to. It is cool I have won Truck Se༺ries here, Xfinity here and now Cup Series here so that is cool. It was a long race, and I drove hard, so I figured I deserved a burnout.”
