Ryan Blaney came in on May the 4th and this thing went exactly how it should’ve: Star Wars, Texas, dad life, painful crash stories, and a whole lot of laughing.

The guys get into Blaney’s day at Texas, pit-road chaos, becoming a dad, scary hospital moments, racing dads, huge hits, getting kicked in the nuts by race cars, Star Wars paint schemes, Watkins Glen, F1, NHRA, and a bunch of garage stories that went completely off the rails in the best way.

This one’s part race recap, part hang, and one of the funniest episodes we’ve done in a while.

Drop your favorite Ryan Blaney moment in the comments.
