Not only did 18-year old Ryan Blaney battle in the Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway today - he is also doing 'Dega double duty.

Ryan Blaney had ot overcome a penalty to win the truck race today.

Blaney is having a busy end-of-the-season driving schedule this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway as he will be making his second career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start tomorrow. He will be in the No. 12 Ford for Team Penske.

Although the No. 12 team is not competing on a full-time basis this year, Blaney's crew at Talladega has plenty of experience. Since the Nationwide Series is off this weekend, Blaney will have the crew from the No. 22 Discount Tire/Hertz Ford Nationwide team working with him this weekend, much like he did earlier this year when he made his Cup Series debut at Kansas Speedway.

Blaney has raced in the last two NASCAR Nationwide Series events for Team Penske and is scheduled to compete in the next NNS race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Blaney also has four more NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts scheduled for the remainder of the season.
