Over the course of a few weeks, fans had the chance to pick which BODYARMOR car livery Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney would run on his Ford in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season finale at the Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, August 29th.

Ryan Blaney is really happy with the partnership and the relationship with BODYARMOR.

BTF reports, “I’ve been with BODYARMOR for three or four years now,” he said. “Really doesn’t feel like three or four years, but I have a really cool relationship with those guys.

“They’re great people. … It’s been a pleasure to go visit them when we can and see their growth. It’s just been a really great relationship, and really how the Pick the Paint deal got set up is just we wanted fans to literally do what the promotion says, pick what paint scheme we were gonna run in the regular-season finale at Daytona.”

The driver himself wanted the Strawberry Banana scheme and is happy that his fans chose this particular livery.

“Strawberry Banana won. I had a small feeling that it was gonna win, I know everybody, on Twitter, I saw a lot of strawberry bananas. I thought that car turned out pretty cool so it’ll be interesting to see how it looks under the lights.

“It’s a really bright car. It’s a graffiti schemed car so it’ll be pretty wacky but it’ll definitely stand out, which is what we were going for.”
