Ryan Preece is an established professional competing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, where he drives the No. 60 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for RFK Racing. Across 13 seasons he has raced primarily in national stock car championships on ovals, with 261 Cup starts forming the bulk of his indexed record since 2019, complemented by 62 Xfinity starts, 32 Whelen Modified Tour starts, 12 Truck starts and a single ARCA Menards West entry.[1]
In the Cup Series, his primary arena, Preece has recorded two wins and four podiums across 261 starts. His Xfinity career produced two wins and four podiums in 62 starts, including four races for Joe Gibbs Racing in 2017 when that team won the series championship. He has taken six wins in 32 Whelen Modified Tour starts and two wins in 12 Truck Series starts. His 2023 ARCA Menards West entry, a single start for Gene Haas, yielded a win and a podium. Across all indexed series he holds 13 wins and 23 podiums from 368 starts.[2]
Preece races regularly against established professionals of comparable standing. Daniel Suarez, a former Xfinity champion and 337-time Cup starter, and Ross Chastain, who won the 2022 Cup Series championship with 302 Cup starts, are regular opponents and closely matched with him. His Cup record includes finishes ahead of elite professionals including Denny Hamlin, a five-time Daytona winner and 2025 Cup champion, and Ryan Blaney, a 340-time Cup starter. His primary team, JD Motorsports, has fielded 38 drivers across its indexed history without a series win, making Preece its strongest entry on record.
