Preston Pardus is an American racing driver competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for Rick Ware Racing LLC. The son of former NASCAR driver Dan Pardus, he built his early reputation in the Sports Car Club of America ranks, winning the Spec Miata class at the 2017 SCCA National Championship Runoffs and completing the Super Sweep in that division in 2020 before transitioning into stock car competition. That road racing background helped shape a versatile driver who eventually moved into NASCAR's national touring ranks.[1]
Across 43 career starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Pardus has recorded 3 wins and 4 podium finishes, though he has yet to add a series championship to his resume. His current Racer Rating of 2,794 places him 1032nd among active drivers on the Elo-style scale, reflecting a competitive but still developing standing within the series. In the 2026 season, Pardus has made 4 rounds without a win or podium, sitting eighth in the standings, and he remains an active competitor with Rick Ware Racing as he looks to build on his three career victories.[2]
