Preece Finishes Second To Joe Gibbs Teammate Kyle Busch

Preece Finishes Second To Joe Gibbs Teammate Kyle Busch #NASCAR

Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Preece, of Berlin, got to live the dream that so many short track drivers only ever dream. It was the chance to run a NASCAR Xfinity Series event for a powerhouse stock car racing team. And Preece represented short track racers in glorious fashion in his first career start with Joe Gibbs Racing.

The 26-year old Preece is a regular on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour – where he was the 2013 series champion – and a longtime regular in the weekly SK Modified divisions at Stafford Motor Speedway and Thompson Speedway.

“What I really want to say is that this one is for all the short track guys out there that work week in and week in their race shops, getting ready to go on Friday nights and Saturday nights,” Preece said. “That’s what I do on my weekly grind. Monday morning I’m going to go back to work on my Modified to race on Friday. It means a lot to do it on this stage, to prove to people that I feel like I belong to be here. I would only get better with more seat time.”



The second place in the Xfinity series event closed out a stellar weekend for Preece in Loudon. He won Friday’s Whelen Modified Tour All-Star Shootout and was second in the Whelen Modified Tour Eastern Propane & Oil 100 on Saturday prior to the Xfinity Series race.

“I like to win races,” Preece said. “… You really can’t complain if you get two seconds and a win in a weekend.”

“Iowa is the next task, the next goal. I’ve got to do as much as I can to prepare for there so we can have another solid finish. … To be able to have this opportunity means a lot to me. … A lot of people sacrificed a lot to put me in this car and that means a lot.” Ryan Preece
