Ryan Preece is back in the NASCAR Cup Series full-time.
Stewart-Haas Racing announced Wednesday that Preece would take over the No. 41 car in 2023. He’ll replace Cole Custer as Custer drops down to the Xfinity Series to run a second car for the team.
He got his break in NASCAR in 2017 after running a full season in the Xfinity Series for a low-budget team. Instead of running another full season in lower-tier equipment, Preece instead ran four Xfinity Series races for Joe Gibbs Racing. He got his first NASCAR win at Iowa in 2017 and finished in the top five in all four of his starts.Preece made two Cup Series starts and three Xfinity Series starts in 2022. He made 10 Truck Series starts and won at Nashville for the second consecutive season.
Custer, the son of SHR executive Joe Custer, finished 16th in the standings as a rookie thanks to that win. He then had just two top-10 finishes in 2021 and was 26th in the standings. He finished 25th in 2022 with just three top 10s. He hasn’t finished in the top five since his rookie season.
