Very few NASCAR drivers in the ongoing season are as composed and collected as Ryan Blaney. He is not one who seems to remain high on energy or is overtly enthusiastic. But he does have a cool and funny streak to attribute to his otherwise nonchalant demeanor. However, the fans got to witness his emotional side after a hard-earned victory in the Coca-Cola 600 on Monday.
The rain-delayed race and several wrecks, including the one involving Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin, made the spectators somewhat anxious. However, when Blaney emerged victorious, the mood changed and there was no stopping him from celebrating his long-awaited victory. He ran all the way to the stands to share his elation with the fans.
However, the celebrations for the fans are just beginning as NASCAR shares a cryptic message on its Twitter profile.

NASCAR drops a new surprise for Ryan Blaney fans through cryptic Tweet
By claiming the podium at NASCAR’s Crown Jewel event, the #12 Ford Mustang driver ended his drought of 59 winless races. But the victory was easier said than done, as he had the most grueling rally with the Hendrick Motorsports prodigy William Byron.
This win comes as a respite to the Team Penske driver as he last claimed a win in the Daytona 500, back in 2021. However, fast-forwarding to the Coca-Cola 600, the #12 Ford dominated 163 out of 400 laps. In his post-race interview, Blaney expressed his concerns, “It’s easy to get down on yourself when you don’t win. You’ve got to think to yourself, can I still do it? Can I still compete at a winning level? So it’s easy to kind of doubt yourself.””
But now that his chapter of self-doubt has closed, and is ready for new beginnings, the victor has appeared in several interviews. He also appeared in the latest episode of The Dale Jr. Download, where he spoke on a plethora of topics. But it is not known to many that the Team Penske driver used to have his own podcast series back in the day. And it seems that the podcast is making its return, as NASCAR posted a video of Ryan and his podcast team, captioned, “Glassholes, it’s time. @Blaney.”
Ryan Blaney’s used to co-host the podcast “Glass Case of Emotion” with Kim Coon and Chuck Bush. Although Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Dirty Mo Media had claimed its supremacy in the world of NASCAR, Blaney’s podcast too had gained a strong foothold in the podcast arena.

While the major podcast channels strictly catered to the intricacies of NASCAR, Glass Case of Emotion, on the other hand, offered its listeners an array of topics, from outside of the NASCAR world as well. In a report released by Sports Business Journal, the podcast had received more than one million listens.
Diving deeper into the subject of the podcast, Ryan Blaney had revealed, “We knew right away that talk about the nuts and bolts of the sport had to be kept somewhat at a minimum.”
