NASCAR expert backs Ryan Blaney to replicate Jimmie Johnson’s feat

Ryan Blaney has shown great potential in his title defense season to repeat as winner. His consistently strong performances and multiple wins have positioned him as a strong contender in the playoffs. Due to Blaney’s solid form, a NASCAR expert is backing him to replicate NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson’s feat of winning back-to-back Cup Series championships.

Johnson is regarded as one of the most successful drivers in NASCAR history, particularly noted for winning seven NASCAR Cup Series championships, including five consecutive titles from 2006 to 2010.

Predicting the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion on “Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour” podcast, Harvick’s co-host and NASCAR expert, Mamba Smith, picked the defending Cup champion Ryan Blaney and his #12 team, Penske Ford, to win the championship for a second consecutive season.
