Ryan Blaney, the NASCAR sensation, is shaking things up in the racing world by calling for a drastic increase in the prize money for the All-Star Race. The Team Penske Racing veteran is not holding back, expressing his desire for the event to become a whopping $3 million affair, triple the current prize amount of $1 million.

Blaney’s bold statements have stirred up discussions within the NASCAR community, with many echoing his sentiments for a much-needed upgrade in rewards. The racing prodigy, fresh off his 2023 NASCAR Cup Series championship win, is adamant about pushing for change in the prestigious event.

Joined by his close friend and 23XI Racing star driver Bubba Wallace, who pointed out the significant influx of TV money into NASCAR, Blaney is leading the charge for a more lucrative All-Star Race. With NASCAR securing a massive $7.7 billion broadcasting deal, drivers like Blaney and Wallace argue that it’s time for the prize money to reflect the sport’s growing success.

Not just a voice in the crowd, Blaney’s stance is supported by industry heavyweight Denny Hamlin, who highlighted the financial strains multi-car teams face in participating in the event. Hamlin’s insights shed light on the need for a substantial prize pool increase to ensure teams can cover their costs and continue to thrive in the competitive racing landscape.

As the racing world eagerly anticipates the upcoming weekend’s events, including Blaney’s endeavors at the Coke 600 and Kyle Larson’s double-duty at the Indy 500 and NASCAR race in Charlotte, the buzz around the potential All-Star Race prize hike continues to grow.

Amidst the excitement and anticipation, Blaney also shared some words of wisdom for Larson, emphasizing the importance of resilience and perseverance in the face of challenges. While Blaney is rooting for Larson’s success, his loyalty to his Team Penske teammates in the IndyCar event adds an intriguing twist to the narrative, setting the stage for an exhilarating showdown on the track.

With tensions running high and stakes soaring even higher, the push for a $3 million All-Star Race prize is reshaping the dynamics of NASCAR, promising a thrilling future for drivers and fans alike. Stay tuned as the racing saga unfolds, with Blaney at the helm of change and a new era of racing glory on the horizon.
