In 2014, without winning a race, Newman advance to the championship event at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where he finished second to race and title victor Kevin Harvick by a mere half-second.
Blaney, who grew up watching his father, Dave, compete in the Cup series at Pocono and elsewhere, was understandably excited after winning so close to where his father and grandfather, dirt-track legend Lou Blaney, lived in Hartford Township, Ohio.
Ryan Blaney was splashed with beer, accepted some handshakes and even gave a fist bump in a raucous victory lane celebration.
"We have had a number of kids who won their first race in our auto, Dale Jarrett did, Kyle did" Eddie Wood said. The manufacturer has the most stage wins (14), led by Truex's eight.
The final ten laps had race fans on the edge of their seats. He had a race painted in honor of Cale Yarborough last week at Dover and tied the Hall of Fame driver for sixth on the career list with 83 Cup wins. "He was fast all day, and you've just got to not mess up, hit your marks and take air away". We had a loose wheel early and had to come back down after that, and we didn't have track position after that, and there [were so few] cautions here that you couldn't drive your way back up there unless you were just lights-out better than everybody else.
"This has been great job security for all the professional people", Bowyer said.
How did he communicate with his team?
If Blaney's auto handled tight, he would place his hand on the door.
"I like where I'm at", Blaney said. He could hear them, but they could not hear him. I'm just so bummed out and frustrated with myself.
"There was a lot of Morse code", Bullins interjected.
The Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas are returning to form of running up front, but now they need to return to victory lane. No, I would still key the radio, and I actually forgot the radio was broken after the last pit stop.

Do you ever have any question about anything you wish to ask and get answer? Hello. This post was syndicated from Vanguard News .
"It's definitely something I've never had happen before, but luckily, I could hear them, and we were able to work something out".
Truex eventually put his No. 78 Furniture Row/Denver Mattress Toyota in contention with a third-place finish in the second stage.
Blaney was exhilarated following a frenetic final 10 laps when he needed to pass a blocking Kyle Busch with about nine laps left. Harvick couldn't quite get there, especially with weak brakes, something that bit numerous drivers on Sunday.
"I just didn't want to make a mistake", Blaney told Keselowski. "That was our only weakness".
The video below shows why drivers should be given microphones more often.
Keselowski, who won for the first time in five Xfinity starts, wanted to watch the broadcast later that night. If you don't have access to that I will still provide the links. "Everybody will move on, and he'll go on to bigger and better and greater things". I knew that going into qualifying and we talked about it right after the first run. "That's what kind of went through my mind".
If you watched the "Drivers Only" broadcast of the Xfinity Series race on Saturday, you saw Ryan Blaney as the pit reporter who finished his day interviewing victor Brad Keselowski.
Another young driver, rookie Erik Jones, finished third. Jones could become one of the next first-time winners later this season.
Fox benched its starters for one race and used the all-Cup lineup, believed to be the first time an entire broadcast team was comprised only of active athletes in their respective sport.
"Blaney is on his way now", Wood said.
"It was just like us going back to the old days with no radios", team owner Eddie Wood said. "It was really cool".
