Dale Earnhardt Jr. brought 3 coolers of beer to celebrate Ryan Blaney’s 1st NASCAR Cup Series win

Ryan Blaney needed advice on how to celebrate his first win, so he asked Dale Earnhardt Jr., who came through in a big way.

Being Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s neighbor and good friend comes with certain benefits, as Ryan Blaney learned Sunday night after earning his first Monster Energy Cup Series victory earlier in the day at Pocono Raceway.

Blaney wasn’t sure how he should celebrate, so he reached out to Earnhardt for advice, Earnhardt said on his weekly podcast, The Dale Jr. Download. NASCAR’s most popular driver told the 23-year-old Blaney to invite people over to his house, which is located on Earnhardt’s property, and that Earnhardt would take care of supplying the adult refreshments.

Earnhardt more than delivered, bringing three large coolers filled with beer that he left on Blaney’s back porch. What ensued was a party that went into the wee hours of the morning, and included Earnhardt and his wife, Amy, Danica Patrick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. among the guests.

“Dale’s a damn good friend, man,” Blaney said in an Instagram Live video Monday morning. “He dropped off four coolers of beer. Four damn coolers. That was really special.”
