This was in February of this year, when Preece made his Daytona 500 debut with Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing.It all happened on Lap 197 of the crown jewel event. Joe Gibbs Racing's Christopher Bell hit Preece’s No. 60 on the right side, forcing it to go airborne at first, then travel on its rear wheels for a few seconds. The Mustang came to a halt only after flipping over and landing on its roof.After being checked and released from the infield care center, Ryan Preece said:“Yeah I don’t know if it’s the diffuser or what that makes these cars like a sheet of plywood when you walk out on a windy day. But when the car took off like that, it got real quiet. All I thought about was my daughter, so I’m lucky to walk away, but we’re getting really close to somebody not being able to, so I’m very grateful.”“Just superspeedway racing,” he continued. “That’s how it goes. It takes pushes. You’ve got to be pushing otherwise you’re going backwards. I was in position and that’s all you can ask for.”As a NASCAR full-timer, Ryan Preece is in his off-season. Next up for the driver is the Cook Out Clash at Winston-Salem’s Bowman Gray Stadium. Scheduled for February 1, 2026, the 200-lap event will be televised on FOX starting at 8 pm ET.
