The NASCAR Cup Series competed at EchoPark Speedway, and it was a chaotic event. Inclement weather forced NASCAR into a rain delay that extended until after midnight on the East Coast, while Ryan Blaney won both stages. However, was the Team Penske driver able to enter victory lane?
Blaney and the No. 12 team for Team Penske won Sunday night’s race at EchoPark, earning their second victory of the 2026 Cup Series season. The driver of the No. 12 car had the dominant pace to win at EchoPark; however, he needed some help after a massive push by Christopher Bell on the final lap.

Instead of pushing Carson Hocevar, Bell decided to push Blaney on the top, resulting in a second-place finish after Bubba Wallace’s penalty for going below the double yellow line. It was a much-needed victory for Blaney and Ford, as they hope to replicate their success at North Wilkesboro Speedway next week.
