Gianna dishes on Sydney Sweeney\u2019s NASCAR love<\/p>\n
Gianna Blaney recently spilled the tea on her Believe In The Good podcast with Haley Dillon, diving into how she and Ryan clicked with Sydney Sweeney, \u201cYeah we met. Gosh I don\u2019t remember when it was sometime last year. She was here filming one of her movies that\u2019s coming out and she\u2019s left NASCAR I guess And her cousin was with her also who also loves NASCAR and they contacted NASCAR who contacted Ryan to do drive around one day with them and I was like can I tag along and honestly we clicked with them immediately. So she invited us to key West cuz she has a house down there for New year\u2019s Eve which was also Ryan\u2019s birthday. So they\u2019re like perfect. We\u2019ll celebrate Ryan\u2019s birthday.\u201d Gianna said.<\/p>\n
It all started when Sweeney, a legit NASCAR fan, and her cousin reached out through the sport\u2019s channels for a track day with Ryan. Gianna tagged along, and the vibe was instant, like they\u2019d known each other forever. The Key West invite for New Year\u2019s Eve, doubling as Ryan\u2019s birthday bash, sealed the deal, turning a casual meet-up into a real friendship.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t stop there, \u201cIt was awesome because she had a bunch of her family and friends staying with her at the at her key West house for New year\u2019s Eve. It was like her closest friend group so it was all the girls and all the guys and Ryan immediately gravitated to the guys. I gravitate to the girls and we all said it feels like we were friends with them forever. We just like completely fit into their friend group and they all of them went out of their way to check on us and make sure we were included comfortable things that they didn\u2019t even have to do. Yeah, I mean we clicked instantly. It was great!\u201d <\/p>\n
Sweeney\u2019s crew welcomed the Blaneys like family, making sure they felt right at home. Ryan hit it off with the guys, Gianna vibed with the girls, and the whole group meshed like they\u2019d been pals for years. Sweeney\u2019s down-to-earth hospitality and shared NASCAR passion made the Key West trip a memory the Blaneys won\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n
