Ryan Michael Blaney is a professional stock car racing driver from the United States. He is a full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver for Team Penske, driving the No. 12 Ford Mustang.

He is the grandson of modified dirt track veteran Lou Blaney and the son of former NASCAR racer Dave Blaney. After a race win, he is noted for handing the checkered flag to a young fan in the stands.

“He (expletive) was holding (the latch) up,” Hamlin radioed after the race before noting, “he (Blaney) should have won the race anyway.”

Just before Blaney hit the finish line at the scheduled conclusion of the race, NASCAR displayed the caution flag for Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who contacted the outside wall in Turn 2.

Defending All-Star Race winner Kyle Larson was also ousted by a crash after his right front tire went flat exiting Turn 4.

“I don’t disagree, (Blaney) should have won the race,” Gabehart said.

With 28 laps to go, Erik Jones crashed at the exit of Turn 4, bringing out the race’s penultimate caution.

In overtime, Blaney fended off charges from Denny Hamlin and Austin Cindric to take home the $1 million check in the exhibition race, Blaney’s first triumph in six All-Star appearances.

The 140-lap event — originally scheduled for 125 laps — was dotted by on-track incidents, the most serious of which occurred at Lap 49.

Hamlin and crew chief Chris Gabehart did not believe Blaney successfully relatched his window net and that the No. 12 Ford should have been penalized for competing with it not properly secured. The pit crew for Logano, the third Penske car, won the pit stop competition between the second and third stages, claiming a $100,000 bonus and the third starting position for the final stage.

There were no issues in post-race inspection, confirming Blaney as the official winner of the event. In the procedural rules for this year’s All-Star Race, NASCAR stated that the race must end under green-flag conditions.

Gabehart, who will miss each of the next four races after a tire detached from the No. 11 Toyota at Dover, joined his driver in questioning NASCAR’s officiating after the checkered flag.

Thanks to his Stage 1 victory, Busch would have started from the lead in the fourth and final stage.

It took him two attempts Sunday night, but Ryan Blaney took home the $1 million prize after winning the NASCAR All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway for the first time in his career.

Blaney unhinged his window net believing he had already taken the checkered flag. NASCAR was set to throw a competition caution just three laps later if no natural cautions came into play prior to that point of the final 50-lap stage.
