PREECE SET FOR TALLADEGA
TALLADEGA, Ala. – Rookie Ryan Preece, riding along 17th in Xfinity Series driver points at this early stage of the season, gets a big new test Saturday.
Preece will race for the first time at super-fast Talladega Superspeedway in Saturday’s Sparks Energy 300 Xfinity race.
Typically, cars circle the 2.66-mile track in giant drafting packs, an art and a science that rewards experience and patience.
“I’m looking forward to getting there and getting adjusted to it all,” Preece said. “The big drafts will take some getting used to, I’m sure. It helps that I’ll have a couple of teammates (Ross Chastain and Garrett Smithley) out there, too.”
Preece will be in the G&K Services Chevy in Saturday’s 113-lap event.
Great to see our home time hero Ryan Preece during so well first time in theXfinity series. We always enjoyed his talents at Stafford Motor Speedway.
