Ryan Blaney on being the defending champion, his bond with CC Jonathan Hassler, Iowa Victory & more!

[@NASCARonFOX]

What are your thoughts on the finish at Richmond?

[@marcusvillarreal]

My pick christopher bell ended up 6th after dominating at Richmond raceway but I predict that he'll win at Michigan this weekend to get redemption from that Richmond speeding penalty last weekend

[@petervogelzang8454]

It is great to see people like Ryan who are humble and not full of themselves because of what they accomplished.

[@tigersfan14]

Rooted for him all last year. Nice when your driver goes the distance and gets the championship. His in-car radio is so fun to listen to.

[@RAID3R63]

I cheered for Mark Martin my whole life growing up. I became a Blaney fan easily I always liked his dad but I thought for sure I would be a curse of champion seasons but watching him win it all was like finally my guy won a championship

[@rickymcu]

As a die hard Chevy guy I wanna hate this dude. But it’s hard not to like him. Such a cool dude

[@gregw3657]

He is a great guy. I'm sorry you are a Chevy guy 😂

[@robertfirasek5296]

Agreed 100%

[@adamxx3]

How can you shill a massive corporate entity like that

[@dethangel88]

As a Chevy guy/Chase Elliot fan, I can't hate Ryan either. I even wanted him to get Most Popular Driver last year. Chase had an off year, and I feel he should've taken himself out of it. Ryan should've got the championship and the popular award. I also realize for those potentially reading; I'm highly aware they're buddies.

[@GPDogDrool]

Lol. I never wanted to hate him bc I've always liked him but have struggled with the Chevy thing too! But I think he has really grown and is a great representative to the sport!

[@HDTech22]

Thank you for not bleeping out the grown up words. The beeps are always jarring with headphones. 😂

[@deborahratliff3976]

Ryan my favorite

[@brandontan2335]

-"Harvick's Happy Pod" -Looks inside -No Harvick Its awesome to see more Mamba Smith and Kayleen Vincie tho!

[@jarredchandler2595]

I wish nascar would show the walk out like it’s a bigger thing instead of talking about something no one cares. One of my favorite things to watch before all star race. You know I turn the volume up when Ryan Blaney comes out

[@dylanbollinger6872]

My guy let’s go win this weekend.

[@jarredchandler2595]

Best race I been to at that rainy weekend for come 600 when you went to the crowd

[@DebsDollRoom]

He is such a good representative for Nascar. And what his family (Ryan Blaney Family Foundation) has done in the fight against Alzheimers is so important. I hope he will be champion again.

[@brentbass3892]

Go get #2! Just do what u did last season and this season go out drive em. Go 12 car!

[@jeffogden-v7w]

R.B. is awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[@jarredchandler2595]

LETS GO BLANEY!!!!!!!!!!

[@garyglenn3654]

Michigan is a Ford track. One of the Ford drivers will win at Michigan. But I hope I am wrong!🤣

Ahhh don’t we all wish we had more time to soak !

[@matthewthompson89]

Go blaney

[@jarredchandler2595]

Didn’t know what Oreo meant and now don’t know what the belt means? You trolling lol

[@DubPaj]

I like Ryan Blaney. That said if it wasn't for this current system he'd never be champion

[@joshuashorba6892]

He'd be a champion. He consistently runs up front and has some of the best speed in the field year in and year out. Even before he had it completely figured out. He's got the fire to do it too. Racing is in that family's blood.

[@marcusvillarreal]

I predict Christopher Bell will win this weekend at Michigan to get redemption from that Richmond speeding penalty last weekend

[@marcusvillarreal]

Thanks for the like

[@billgoodwin8742]

You always say this about Bell.

[@marcusvillarreal]

​@@billgoodwin8742I know

What races do you _not think_ Christopher Bell will win?

Maybe they can’t drive because they are distracted by fashion? 🤔

[@BootieScootRacingLLC]

Champion 🤓

[@Me181]

@@BootieScootRacingLLC only in this format

[@Me181]

@AxyzPlays true but it's a stupid format that gives the statistical 9th best a title

[@Me181]

@AxyzPlays it's not about that, its the fact he was 9th best and is the champion. A one race format is bs

[@nickshaf22]

​@Me181 this format is what made austin Dillon wreck logano and hook hamlin

[@thomaskrebs8110]

old news. He is out.

Oh no, people said words!

[@workroomcreationsbyjamie]

"Nascar deemed that he stepped over the line. He [Austin] didn't know that when he made the move . . ." Mark Martin says it best. -- The race was a snooze up until the end of the race. My husband was watching the Astros game and I was playing a game on my phone. The end made the whole race worth it! Late caution, we've seen it a thousand times. I love the shootout format. Austin had the car - no question. My opinion would be completely different had Austin been racing to the end against clean racers. HE WAS NOT!!! Denny and Joey have done the same over and over, getting to the finish line. Because they are the cool kids, it's brushed off. They (and others) did what they had to do to get the win. Nascar made this decision based on social media and popularity. Denny and Joey got a dose of karma, Nascar. Let the boys race!!! I hope that the appeal takes the above quote into consideration. Mark is a smart guy. Thanks for reading. @nascaronfox

[@thomaskrebs8110]

Very much nonsense. AD need to get better at restarts and second, everybody, yes even you and me, can wreck people in front of us. This isn't skilled racing and Nascar did the right thing. I am glad AD is not in the playoffs. But there are still three races left.... who knows. I will be at Atlanta, Bristol, Talladega, Charlotte, Martinsville and Phoenix and I will cheer if somebody wrecks him. He really deserve it!

[@deepspace1992]

Mark Martin also said he would never make a move like that. He was one of the cleanest racers we ever had.

[@sgtepicspeed3033]

The race was a snooze?
