Blaney is the first driver to clinch a spot in the Round of 8. After winning the New Hampshire race, Blaney talked about holding off Josh Berry for the victory.
“That was probably the hardest 20 laps that I drove. I was trying to kind of bide my stuff and kind of pull Josh a little bit, Blaney said. Then he really started coming, and I started to get super free. It was all I could do to hold him off, trying new lanes. That was good racing and clean racing. I appreciate Josh for not throwing me the bumper when he could have.”
