Ryan Blaney is on the mend after a scare away from the track.
The Team Penske driver said on Instagram Tuesday that he took an accidental fall while out to dinner with family and friends Monday night, and it was serious enough that he needed medical attention. Blaney didn't share details about any injury, but said he is “doing okay and am resting and recovering.”
Because of it, he'll sit out two events this week: Tuesday's NASCAR championship celebration honoring Kyle Larson, and Ford's “Proud to Honor” event at Daytona on Wednesday, where Ford drivers are recognizing each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces for Veterans Day. Blaney said he'll be supporting his teammates and fellow Ford drivers from home.
Reaction Lap take: The offseason is supposed to be the quiet time. Good to hear the 2023 champion is okay. Rest up, Ryan. Daytona will be here before you know it.
