Ep. 259 | Ryan Preece

It feels good for Ryan Preece to hear himself be called a NASCAR Cup Series driver again. Preece shares what it was like to be out of sight and out of mind in 2022 as he worked behind the scenes at Stewart-Haas Racing; using the year to become a better person and driver; unique ways to build a bond with a team; what being a reserved driver is all about; there being no guarantee of a ride when signing with Stewart-Haas; if Preece went to bat for himself as ’22 went on; the conversations had about his career; funding being the story of his career; if not having a straight upward path has any upside; falling in love with racing as a third generation driver; the sacrifices to race; being the one son (of three) who went into racing; why working on his race cars was the chosen way; how Preece’s first national series start came together; what he thinks has been the defining moment of his NASCAR career.
