Biography
Ryan Preece is a throwback racer from the Northeast who built his reputation on the NASCAR Modified Tour before working his way to the Cup Series. From Berlin, Connecticut, Preece is a three-time Modified champion whose blue-collar approach to racing resonates with fans who remember the days when New England short tracks were a major pipeline to NASCAR's top level.
Preece's path to the Cup Series was unconventional. After dominating the Modified scene, he earned Xfinity rides and eventually a Cup opportunity with JTG Daugherty Racing. When that team scaled back, he served as a reserve driver and crew member for Stewart-Haas Racing before earning a full-time Cup seat with RFK Racing. That resilience and willingness to do whatever it took to stay in the sport speaks to his character.
Known for his short track expertise and hard-nosed racing style, Preece brings a toughness to the RFK lineup. While wins have been elusive at the Cup level, his consistency has improved with better equipment, and he remains a valuable contributor to the three-car RFK operation. He continues to race Modifieds in the offseason, staying connected to his New England racing roots.
