Ryan Blaney managed to survive Sunday’s NASCAR race in Mexico City without a crash, or a bathroom emergency.
Blaney admitted he got sick prior to the Viva Mexico 250 in Mexico City on Sunday, and he was genuinely concerned about making a mess in his pants. After the race, he jokingly turned and had reporter Jeff Gluck check the back of his white suit and ask “Am I good?”
Gluck confirmed that Blaney was, in fact, good, and made it through the race unscathed despite the illness.
Sometimes these things happen, and Blaney seemed prepared to deal with it. Fortunately, it didn’t come to that, and he did not deal with a Shaq moment at any point during Sunday’s race.
Blaney actually managed a respectable 14th-place finish despite his illness. He is seventh overall in the NASCAR Cup Series standings, and is presumably pleased with what he had to overcome on Sunday. Perhaps his bad luck is starting to turn a little bit.
