Congrats to Ryan and Gianna Blaney

Ryan Blaney and his wife, Gianna, have made their family a party of three, announcing the arrival of their first child.

The couple – who wed last December – posted Saturday afternoon on social media, announcing the birth of a son, Charley Bennett Blaney, on Nov. 17.

The Blaneys had announced last July that they were expecting. Ryan Blaney, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion, said before the Chicago Street Race that their offseason timing was fortunate. “We’re in the winter, so that takes a lot of stress off,” Blaney said. “I can’t say we necessarily drew it up that way.”
