Ryan Preece Talks Pranks, Martinsville, Championship Contenders, RFK Racing and More!

Ryan Preece is fired up heading into Martinsville, and he’s bringing some revenge energy with him. After Chris Buescher literally stole his car door, Preece is plotting the perfect payback before the season’s over — all while trying to end 2025 on a strong note for RFK Racing. Between fatherhood, top-10 runs, and his growing chemistry with the 60 team, there’s a lot happening behind the wheel and off the track.

• How exactly did Buescher make Preece drive across Kansas missing a car door?
• What’s clicked lately with the 60, 6, and 17 cars that’s making RFK look like a powerhouse?
• Why does Martinsville feel like home turf for Preece, and how has the Next Gen car changed his approach there?
• Which playoff driver does he believe has the best shot to steal a win and shake up the final four?

With his modified experience, confidence at short tracks, and a clear focus on finishing strong, Preece is eyeing more than just a good run — he’s aiming to prove that the 60 team can be a playoff threat in 2026. And yes, he’ll probably grab at least one of those pink Martinsville hot dogs while he’s at it.
