Ryan Blaney was the biggest loser on Sunday following a multi-car collision during the Goodyear 400.

The Team Penske driver was running sixth through 129 laps while exiting Turn 2 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, S.C.

Blaney was on the outside of a three-wide scenario with Martin Truex Jr. and William Byron.

Byron’s No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro slid high into Truex’s No. 19 Toyota Camry. Truex ended up pinballing into Blaney’s No. 12 Ford Mustang, which ricocheted rear-first into the wall.

Blaney’s right rear took significant damage. He was unable to finish the race due to his team needing more than the allotted seven minutes for repairs

Ryan Blaney says the guy who caused his crash got away Scott-free. When asked why he didn’t hit Byron back, Blaney says he’ll save that for another race. #NASCAR

After being ruled out of the race, Blaney went back onto the track and swerved right next to Byron before returning to pit road.
