Dale Jarrett Bold Pick: Former NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett has made an intriguing pick for the championship title ahead of the race at Phoenix Raceway. While many have favored Kyle Larson, Jarrett has chosen Ryan Blaney as his pick to win the championship.
Blaney’s recent victory at Martinsville Speedway, where he denied Denny Hamlin a spot in the championship four, has left a strong impression on many. Jarrett explained his choice, saying, “Its easy to go off of the most recent thing that happened. But its not just the most recent, its the recent history at Phoenix with Ryan Blaney and his team with this car.
He highlighted Blaney’s past performances at Phoenix, finishing second to his teammate Joey Logano last year when Logano was the champion. Jarrett believes that Blaney is the hottest driver on this type of track and that it’s his time to shine.
While acknowledging the strong competition, Jarrett stands by his choice of Blaney as the potential champion. He points out that Larson has a championship win at this track, and other contenders like Byron and Bell have performed well at Phoenix. Regardless, Jarrett is eagerly anticipating the race on Sunday, expecting it to be a thrilling spectacle.
After his recent victory at Martinsville, Blaney rejected the notion of luck playing a significant role in his success. He emphasized the hard work and determination of his team, attributing their consistent performance to their efforts in preparing a fast race car.
