Ryan Blaney is one of the more enthusiastic and entertaining drivers on the NASCAR grid. The Team Penske driver is a serious competitor on the track but has a cool and fun side to him as well.
The driver, along with Kim Coon and Chuck Bush, features in the much renowned “Glass Case of Emotion” podcast. Going through an interesting set of conversational topics, the discussion on the podcasts is often funny and engaging.
In a particular episode a couple of months back, Blaney had picked out his title favorites across the three NASCAR divisions. So, was he on point with his predictions, now that the season is fully done and dusted?

Speaking in the GCOE podcast, Blaney had stated, “I want to go…that Zane Smith kid has been pretty good. I’m agreeing with Kim, I think Allgaier is really good at Phoenix.”
While he was a little more straightforward with his Truck and Xfinity Series picks, Blaney hesitated to give a fixed answer for the Cup Series. However, he hinted towards it being either Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, or Chase Elliott.
The Team Penske No.12 continued, “Cup I don’t know, you guys put me in a big box.
“The Penske cars have been pretty good there.
“I don’t know, up in the air. Penske cars have been good there, the nine’s (Chase Elliott) been really fast. I don’t know, question mark on the Cup,” concluded Blaney on the topic.
