Days after securing the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series championship title, Ryan Blaney sent the fanbase into a frenzy with his upcoming wedding revelation, and voila, he and his girlfriend, Gianna Tulio, got engaged on the 12th of December. But what good is a celebration when your best friend is absent in your best moments?
This is what Ryan Blaney might’ve expected, keeping Bubba Wallace‘s recent confession about the #12 Team Penske driver’s victory in mind. But Wallace proved otherwise, as he didn’t shy away from expressing his joy, following which he shared a 3-word message with the community.

Bubba Wallace’s exceptional way of congratulating Ryan Blaney
Back in July 2020, Blaney and Gianna Tulio went on a trip to the ski resort town located in Vail, Colorado, and it was then that Tulio posted a picture and made it official via her Instagram. She captioned the image and wrote, “Wouldn’t want to be here with anyone else.” Coming back to today, the duo’s engagement news didn’t take time to gain traction from the community, and Ryan Blaney’s best mate, Bubba Wallace was probably the fastest to act. Within an hour, the 23XI Racing driver took to his Instagram and congratulated the couple with his message,“BOUT DAMN TIME.”

Tracking back to the recent encounter of Bubba Wallace with Ryan Blaney, the former explicitly confessed that, despite his career-best finish of #10 in the driver standings, he didn’t like the latter’s 2023 championship title. So, just like for fans, an instant greeting by Wallace might’ve come as a surprise for Blaney as well.
Wallace, being Wallace, didn’t shy away from portraying his bond with Blaney. However, he’s not the only one, as another close ally of the Team Penske driver congratulated the couple, and that too before Wallace.
