Ryan Blaney feeling ok after Las Vegas accident

Ryan Blaney says he is feeling fine after complaining of a headache last weekend after taking a driver’s side hit during practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway because of a tire puncture.

In the race the following day, he was involved in a multi-car crash on lap 89 on the frontstretch when Brad Keselowski clipped his car as Keselowski came back across the racetrack.

The hit also broke the toe link, and that didn’t help matters either as Blaney described flopping around in the cockpit as he drove his damaged car back to pit road.

I’m feeling all right,” Blaney told reporters at Homestead-Miami in a video posted by Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports. “Yeah, a couple of hard hits. I’ve had more hard hits than I’d like, especially recently in the last year and a half or so, two years. But I’m doing OK.
