Ryan Blaney recovering after fall

Ryan Blaney posted on Instagram Tuesday that he is recovering after suffering a fall Monday night that required medical attention. Blaney said he will miss Tuesday’s NASCAR championship celebration and Wednesday’s Ford “Proud to Honor” event at Daytona.

“I was out at dinner last night with my family and some friends and I accidentally took a fall that required medical attention. I am doing okay and am resting and recovering. I’m disappointed to miss celebrating Kyle Larson and the NASCAR Championship today and Ford’s “Proud to Honor race” tomorrow at Daytona. While I won’t be there, I’ll be supporting my teammates and fellow Ford drivers as they honor each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces on Veterans Day.”
