Ryan Blaney compared the preparations for the wedding to that of a NASCAR race

In a recent episode of Dale Jr. Download, Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney opened up on the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

Speaking with Dale Earnhardt Jr., the 30-year-old drew a parallel between the preparations for the wedding and expenditure to that of a race team. He said:

"It surprised me of just how much goes into it. It's almost like, I feel like what a race team goes through of like preparing for an event, preparing for a race. There's so much that goes into it. And the cost side to me, right, it's like, there's a number there. All right, here's what you want to spend. You're going to spend more than that. It's just how it goes."
"The days are closing in very rapidly to that time. And but it'll be fun. It's been a fun process. And I'm excited to when it's finally like arrived and here and we can just enjoy the experience," Blaney added.

Blaney next gears up for the FireKeepers Casino 400 race at Michigan International Speedway. He sits at P5 on the overall Cup Series points table. After 23 starts this season, Blaney has accumulated two wins, seven top-fives, and 11 top-10 finishes.
