A Multi‑Year Commitment
RFK Racing announced on Thursday that it has exercised the option to retain Ryan Preece through the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season, cementing a partnership that began in 2025. Team co‑owner Brad Keselowski made the declaration in a statement that underscored the driver’s steady progression and the organization’s confidence in his future.
Preece, a 35‑year‑old Connecticut native, has become a fixture in the RFK lineup, logging every one of the 21 races scheduled this year. His four top‑10 finishes have lifted him to 18th in the championship standings, a position he hopes to improve as the season reaches its climax.
The driver’s résumé includes 243 career starts across nine Cup seasons, two pole positions and 33 top‑10 finishes, though a victory has remained elusive. In 2025, his first full year with RFK, he posted a career‑best three top‑five results before just missing the playoff cutline.
Keselowski highlighted the multi‑year contract as a reflection of Preece’s consistent performance and the team’s long‑term vision. “Ryan’s dedication and skill set align perfectly with our goals,” Keselowski said. “We’re excited to see him contend for his first win and a playoff berth in the coming years.”
The move also brings a boost for sponsors and fans alike, as Preece’s growing profile continues to attract attention both on and off the track. With the contract secured, the focus now shifts to the upcoming races where the Connecticut driver will aim to break new ground.
