Ryan Blaney reflects on family history at Indianapolis

Ryan Blaney recently opened up about his childhood trips to Indianapolis Motor Speedway with his father, Dave Blaney. In an interview with Frontstretch ahead of the Brickyard 400, Blaney recalled one of his earliest visits to the track.

"I came up here a lot with dad, the tunnel still is amazing when you drive through it, you see the museum right there. Every year I come here, and I remember my first year I count as an adult, standing on the pit road, watching them qualify," he said. (0:52 onwards)

"Three cars are going in so we are at the end of the pit road, and Robby Gordon was racing that 7 car, it was a bright orange car, that he had, and I saw just a little orange dot, all the way down there. Can’t even see it, and before you know it, they go by so fast,” he added.

Ryan Blaney had a lackluster qualifying at Indianapolis but made up for it during the 168-lap event. He ended up with a seventh-place finish, marking his second consecutive top-10 after Dover.

He went on to score three consecutive top-10s before tasting victory at Daytona. He captured the win in a thrilling four-wide finish after making up 12 places in the final two laps.

His recent stretch of races has been one of his most consistent runs this season. The Team Penske driver has led in every race since Indianapolis and has grabbed two Busch Light Poles as well.
