Ford Performance NASCAR: Watkins Glen (Ryan Blaney Accident Quote) - Speedway Digest

RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Menards/Pennzoil Ford Mustang Dark Horse (Retired early due to accident on Lap 1)

YOU WERE TALKING TO THE NASCAR OFFICIALS. THEY SAID YOU ARE DONE FOR THE DAY. DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD TIME ON THE CLOCK TO REPAIR THE CAR?

“They didn’t give us a chance to fix it. How are they going to dictate if we are done or not? They have no idea of the damage. They said we were done because I couldn’t drive it back to the pit box, but if you have four flats, you get towed back to the pit box. You can’t drive that back. I don’t know what is going on or why they won’t give us a shot to work on it but I don’t agree with it. I don’t even know what happened, honestly. We stacked up and I caught someone in the lfet front and it completely broke the steering. I don’t know if we could have fixed it. But that is the frustrating part, just didn’t even give us a chance and just ended our day without even letting us look at it before it is in the garage. It stinks.”
