The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney<\/a> recently shared a humorous idea for dealing with his in-race frustrations, suggesting a \u201cdummy\u201d radio button for his infamous outbursts, noting that simply venting to oneself is not effective. In an interview with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Blaney explained that the \u201cdummy\u201d button would let drivers blow off steam without the world hearing it.<\/p>\n Blaney, who drives the #12 Team Penske<\/a> Ford Mustang, is often known for having intense, frustrated outbursts on the radio during races.

You’re just talking to yourself. You got to have other people here. It’s like going to therapy. Like, you can’t do therapy looking in a mirror; you go sit down and talk to a person about there is someone. You got to hear it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cSo that’s what everyone says, like, well, just don’t hit the button. I’m like, “You don’t know. You have no idea. You’ve got to hit that button.” We need a dummy button is what we need. I need a dummy like a button that doesn’t go to anybody.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney has signed a long-term contract extension with Team Penske to continue driving the team’s #12 Ford Mustang in the series.
