NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney is known for his smooth driving skills and laid-back personality, but his latest off-track adventure proves he’s got a fun-loving side that fans can’t get enough of. While in Mexico, Blaney fully embraced the local culture—by donning a Luchador mask and testing his skills in the wrestling ring.
A video shared by NASCAR’s official Instagram account captured the Penske driver going full Lucha Libre, wearing a colorful mask and bouncing off the ropes like a seasoned pro. While Blaney’s enthusiasm was undeniable, his form left a little room for improvement. Fans were quick to joke that his Jedi training—an ongoing theme thanks to his well-known love of Star Wars—might need a bit more work before he can master the squared circle.
Blaney’s wrestling cameo had social media buzzing, with fans loving his willingness to step outside of his comfort zone. Known for his reserved yet witty demeanor, the reigning Cup Series champ continues to prove why he’s one of NASCAR’s most likable personalities.
Whether he’s battling it out on the track, sporting Star Wars gear, or taking on the high-flying world of Lucha Libre, Blaney always finds a way to entertain. While his Jedi skills may need refining, one thing is clear—he’s got the heart of a champion, in and out of the ring.
