Ryan Blaney

Pit Lane Interview

Q. A corporate win as your teammate is in Victory Lane. Considering the shape your car is in, is third okay?

RYAN BLANEY: Yeah, honestly I can't believe we got back up where we did. The 12 boys did a really good job fixing it. I'm surprised it didn't have more damage than what it did.

From my seat, I got drilled in the left rear, the door I guess is where it hit me. The right rear got off the fence. I didn't know how damaged we were. I was kind of able to carve up through traffic, could kind of get through the middle pretty good.

So yeah, really proud of the effort. Had a thought of going three-wide on the frontstretch. I'm like, Man, it's going to be tight, we already have a good day going, great points, all that stuff. Yeah, third, a really good day.

Appreciate Dent Wizard doing what they do. Menards, Advance Auto Parts, DEX Imaging, Discount Tire. Move on to Watkins Glen.

Really happy. This thing looks ugly, but really good finish. Proud of the effort by everybody.

And congrats to the 22 team. Joey did a great job all day.
