NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney will not attend the upcoming NASCAR Awards ceremony after being involved in an accident that required medical attention, according to a report from MotorBiscuit published Tuesday.
The 2023 Cup Series champion's absence was confirmed on November 10, 2026, though specific details about the nature of the accident and Blaney's current condition were not immediately disclosed in the initial report.
Blaney, who drives the No. 12 Ford for Team Penske, has been a consistent contender in the NASCAR Cup Series. His absence from the annual awards event marks a notable development as the series concludes its 2026 season.
