Ryan Blaney explained the presence of a four-year-old on his car radio during the NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. In a race filled with cautions, it came as a lighthearted moment.Ryan Blaney shared a humorous tale of how his 4-year-old nephew, Bodhi, broke into his race radio during the NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol. Somebody in the team had acquired a radio scanner in the motorhome owned by Blaney's wife, Gianna, and Bodhi had figured out how to operate it and how to press the talk button. Blaney stated that he and Gianna believed the button was not operational, but Bodhi was able to switch it on and gave Blaney a pep talk by radio, saying:'Hi Uncle Ryan. Go Ryan. Win this race."Ryan Blaney told NASCAR:"Smart kid, man, figured out, turned it on, pushed the button, gave me a little bit of motivation. And that was pretty cool. It was in a great time, like it was under caution, and there was not much going on. And oh yeah, I got a real good kick out of it. We all did, all my team, we got a good kick out of it.""So that was funny. And I knew right away who it was. When he called me Uncle Ryan, I was like, all right, that's either Bodhi or Louie. And I figured it was Bodhi, the younger one, because I talked to him about this radio. So I got a good laugh out of that. It was a point in the race where, like it was a lot of cautions after cautions. So that was like a nice moment of levity, of just a little break," he further added.
