When asked by Bob Pockrass about the possibility of adding a third car in 2025 for RFK Racing, Brad Keselowski replied, “Not today, Bob. Coming soon,” hinting at potential plans that could include Ryan Preece.
Keselowski mentioned that “everything is in the realm of possible,” especially since Preece is looking to break a four-year streak that could improve his chances of securing a seat next year.
Preece’s 2024 season hasn’t been great, with only three top-10 finishes and Stewart-Haas Racing shutting down at the end of the year, leaving him without a ride. However, he recently showed improvement, finishing 9th at The Glen and 7th in Bristol, making him the 10th-highest point scorer among non-playoff drivers.
His recent back-to-back top-10 finishes are significant, as it’s the first time the No. 41 car has achieved this since 2020.
Cole Custer was the last driver to secure back-to-back top-10 finishes in the No. 41, leading to his last victory in 2020. With Preece performing well, the team aims to finish strong before closing down, which could enhance his chances of staying in the Cup Series.
Preece’s SHR teammates are moving to different teams in 2025, making RFK Racing a likely destination for him. Speculation suggests that RFK Racing might lease a charter from Rick Ware Racing, and given Preece’s previous relationship with Kroger, he could be a strong candidate for a spot on Keselowski’s team.
Fans are buzzing about Preece’s potential future, with many believing he’s an “unclaimed talent” poised for a successful 2025, especially considering his consistent top-20 finishes and recent form.
