Blaney on being the only driver to win at Iowa in all three series

Well, the reigning champ is back in Victory Lane. Ryan Blaney is your winner here at Iowa. First and foremost, congratulations. But let's talk about the Iowa crew. We didn't know that the Blaney is all represented in Iowa. You had quite the show out 70 family members. What's it mean to win here? Yeah, I had a lot of them. Luckily, they were able to come to Victory Lane and they'll celebrate with me. I'm happy we got them across the racetrack. But no, my, my mom's from, you know, not too far from Des Moines and, you know, kind of grew up coming here a lot and just. It's neat to still have family members up here. And they were here for a lot of them were here for. My first truck win at 12. And they came back so and a lot of them, the only three races they ever been to was what I want. So it's good luck. But no, I just also have a family like that. And their support is, is definitely something that's, you know, I'm, I'm really fortunate to have. And I wish Gianna was here to celebrate with my family. But no, just it's cool to all have them out. You mentioned those three series. You're the only driver to ever win in the Truck Series, the Xfinity Series, and now the inaugural race of the Cup series. How'd you do it today? How did you guys find Victory Lane? Yeah, I mean, I think honestly, Friday we weren't very good. I I wasn't too confident after Friday and. You know, Jonathan and I and everybody just try to figure it out, you know, and, and went to work and threw some things at it that we thought would help. And, and yeah, qualifying. I'm like, all right, I think we have something. And then the five looked pretty good for sure. I thought we got a little bit closer to him as the night came. But yeah, I mean, just just Jonathan did a great job. I mean, figuring out what we needed and, and how to progress and then adjusting on the car through the night. It was a big, big change from, you know, when the sun was up to sundown. It really took a swing and we got ahead of it. And that's that's really what it was. And two, two tires at the end was a good call of trying to get out front. I didn't know how it was going to last on two. I started to struggle with like 10 to go, but luckily we had enough of a gap to to bring it Home. But. Now just proud of all the 12 guys. I mean, they could have hugged their head after two weeks ago and and just been bummed out, but they, you know, just went to work and and knew we could run up front and just cool to do it at a place like this. Some redemption from Gateway. Congratulations. Welcome to the playoffs. Thank you. Thanks, Michael.
