Ryan Preece Secures First NASCAR Cup Series Victory at Daytona

Ryan Preece celebrated his first victory in the NASCAR Cup Series at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 held at Daytona International Speedway. This win not only marked a personal achievement for Preece but also secured his spot in the Chase.

Originating from Berlin, Connecticut, Preece has faced numerous challenges throughout his racing career, having driven for several smaller teams before landing a significant role with RFK Racing. His journey included stints with various teams, including Tommy Baldwin Racing and JTG-Daugherty Racing, where he demonstrated his skills despite limited opportunities.

Preece's breakthrough in the Cup Series came in 2023 when he joined Stewart-Haas Racing. However, after the team closed at the end of 2024, he found support from RFK Racing and co-owner Brad Keselowski, who recognized his potential. Preece's victory at Daytona is notable as it places him among a select group of drivers who achieved their first win after a significant number of starts.
