Ryan Blaney's career took a significant turn in 2018 when he joined Team Penske. He went on to win the Cup Series championship with the team in 2023. But beyond his racing prowess, Blaney also faced some interesting personal challenges during his time there.

Blaney explained that he'd held onto the shirt since Daytona, when Elliott had given it to him. He said he was wearing Elliott's shirt and pants because he'd lost all his clothes after jumping into a pool and all his belongings were still in the truck. He had only brought a backpack with him and no spare clothes
"I said you only had like four or five shirts in your bus right along with underwear and other stuff like that but I thought it was appropriate," Blaney said (at 1:24). "I left it at your [Elliott's] house though. Yeah, I got pushed in the pool in. No, actually no I didn't, put a jump in. and your shirt and your pants I was wearing your pants because I had no clothes. [I had] nothing because like he said we have clothes on the bus so you don't bring a suitcase with you so I just had my backpack and so I had to go to a Dollar General and get some underwear and socks."
