Ryan Blaney is staying at Team Penske. Blaney has signed a long-term contract extension to remain in the No. 12 car for Team Penske, the team announced. The terms of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion’s contract were not disclosed, but he won’t be leaving the organization anytime soon.
The No. 12 team is among the best in the Cup Series, so this doesn’t come as a major surprise. Blaney will be an annual championship contender with Team Penske as he pushes for his second NASCAR title. In fact, it could come during the 2026 Cup Series season, as he sits high in the point standings.
This is the right decision for everyone involved. Team Penske has championship-level equipment, and Blaney has the speed to bring another trophy home every November. Now, Blaney can focus on winning another Cup Series championship, as his future is locked with Team Penske.
