Ryan Blaney 생일, 생년월일

Ryan Michael Blaney (born December 31, 1993) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Team Penske.

A third-generation racecar driver, Blaney is the son of former NASCAR Cup Series driver Dave Blaney and the grandson of modified dirt track racer Lou Blaney. Growing up, Blaney had a very successful early racing career in quarter midget racing, Bandolero racing, and late model racing, which included Blaney winning his first quarter midget race at the age of nine, and in 2009, at the age of fifteen, competing in the Pro All Star Series late model division, finishing second in the final points standings while also winning the series' Rookie of the Year award.

Blaney began his NASCAR career, driving in select few races in both the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series in 2011-2012 for Tommy Baldwin Racing and Penske Racing. In his first full-time NASCAR season in the Truck Series in 2013, driving for Brad Keselowski Racing, Blaney finished 6th in points while also winning the Rookie of the Year Award. The following year, Blaney finished second in the final point standings, narrowly losing the Truck Series title to Matt Crafton by twenty points. Blaney made his Cup Series debut in 2014, driving a few select races for Penske. He signed with Wood Brothers Racing in 2015, driving a limited schedule in the famed No. 21 car, and remained with the Wood Brothers for an additional two years, driving his first full-time Cup Series schedule from 2016–2017. In 2017, Blaney captured his first career Cup Series win at Pocono Raceway and finished ninth in the final point standings.

In 2018, Blaney joined Team Penske full-time, driving the No. 12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Since joining Penske, Blaney has never finished outside the top-ten in the final championship standings in the Cup Series, which includes Blaney winning the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series championship, and nearly winning back-to-back titles the following year in 2024, when he finished second in the final point standings to his Penske racing teammate Joey Logano. Blaney is the winner of the 2022 NASCAR All-Star Race, and has currently amassed a total of 18 Cup Series victories, including a crown jewel victory in the 2023 Coca-Cola 600.
