Ryan Preece Unlikely to Get Out of Slump at Iowa
5 months agoRyan Preece has had a miserable 2024 season to date and it seems likely that his future in the NASCAR Cup Series is in doubt since Stewart-Haas Racing is shutting down and Preece has been kept out of SHR's setup notes sessions this year. That could mean that Preece will be unusually motivated to prove his mettle in the Cup Series for the rest of the season, but with no laps led and only a single top-10 finish this year, it's hard to expect Preece to contend anywhere. However, Iowa could be an exception, as Preece won his first race in the NASCAR Xfinity Series from the pole there in 2017. Given his vast modified experience, he tends to run much better on short tracks than any other track type, but the fact that he only qualified 29th behind all of his teammates probably means he won't contend.
