NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney discusses a physical altercation with fellow racer Carson Hocevar that occurred after Saturday night’s race at Bristol. Blaney speaks about what happened during the confrontation, saying he was struck and characterizing the exchange in blunt terms.
Blaney delivers his account on Denny Hamlin’s podcast, where he gives his side of the scuffle and describes feeling the impact of contact. The Athletic reports Blaney says he “got tagged pretty good,” while Yahoo Sports quotes him using more graphic language, saying he “got my (butt) kicked.” Both outlets frame the comments as Blaney’s personal explanation of the incident after the Bristol event, rather than offering official adjudication or additional details from NASCAR or other parties.
