Cool deal.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Team Penske made a big announcement on Wednesday afternoon that Ryan Blaney will compete in 15 NASCAR Nationwide Series races in 2014. In addition, Blaney will make his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut at Kansas Speedway in May with his second start coming at the Talladega Superspeedway in October.

“We believe Ryan is one of the most promising young drivers in NASCAR and we want to continue his growth and development with Team Penske,” said team owner Roger Penske. “Ryan’s win at Kentucky in the No. 22 car last year showed what he is capable of and we hope to experience many more moments in Victory Lane with him in the coming seasons.”

He will receive sponsorship backing for his Sprint Cup starts from SKF. SKF has previously sponsored Sam Hornish Jr. in the No. 12 car in the Sprint Cup Series for Team Penske for the same races in 2012 and 2013. The 2014 racing season will be the company’s 17th year in the sport of NASCAR. They have also been a big supporter of Team Penske’s INDYCAR team.

Blaney will run 15 races in the Nationwide Series in 2014, driving the No. 22 Ford, with his first race being at Bristol Motor Speedway in March. Team Penske will determine the rest of those 14 races at a later date. Blaney will still continue to drive for Brad Keselowski Racing full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
