Ryan Blaney's fiancé Gianna Tulio turns heads in off-shoulder floral top as she prepares for Christmas

With 14 days remaining to their wedding, NASCAR star Ryan Blaney and fiance Gianna Tulio will likely be busy preparing for their special day as well as their first Christmas. Ahead of the holiday season, Tulio posted a selfie in a stylish outfit on her Instagram story.

Tulio and Blaney began dating in 2020. Since then, the former Hooters model has been a permanent fixture at Blaney's Team Penske garage. After winning the 2023 Cup Series championship, the Ohio-based racer proposed to Tulio on December 12th, during their vacation in Washington DC. The couple also spent time together during the mid-season break in the Caribbean.

With the 2024 Cup Series season ending at Phoenix in November, both the NASCAR star and Tulio will likely be busy preparing for both their wedding and the upcoming holiday season. As a small preview of the ongoing preparation, Tulio shared of picture of herself in an off-shoulder Summertown Smocked Midi Dress by Flag & Anthem in front of a decorated Christmas tree.

Here's a look at a snapshot of her story from her Instagram page:

"I worked my tail off to run Joey down from a long ways back" - 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney after failing to defend the title against his teammate Joey Logano

While the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney battled it out until the chequered flag during the Championship 4 race, he lost the title battle to his teammate Joey Logano. During a post-race interview, the #12 Team Penske racer spoke about his final push in the championship-deciding run at Phoenix Raceway.

During the final 55-lap run after the restart, Blaney managed to overtake Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson and William Bryon to reach second position behind Logano. However, the defending champion lost the race on the penultimate lap.

"I had to work my ass off to get by the 5 (Larson), and I had to work my ass off to get to the 24 (Byron) and pass him. And I worked my tail off to run Joey down from a long ways back. So as I’m doing it, I’m thinking to myself, like, I think I’m gonna get there (to Logano), get close, but I don’t know if I might have anything to pass him. But I can’t save because I’m never gonna get there if I save," Blaney said, explaining the situation.

Blaney finished second in the Drivers' championship with three wins, 18 Top 10s, 12 Top 5s, and one pole position to his name. However, what likely impacted his title defense were the seven DNFs he suffered through the year.
