Stewart-Haas Racing announced today that Ryan Preece will move to a full-time position with the team in 2023, driving the No. 41 Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Cup Series.
The 2018 Cup Series champion from Middletown, Connecticut, became the 17th different competitor to achieve multiple championships in NASCAR's premier series by claiming his second Cup title with a dominant victory at Phoenix.
The 20-year-old Gibbs from Charlotte, North Carolina, led a race-high 125 of 200-scheduled laps and persevered in a late battle against rivals Gragson and Allgaier to claim his first Xfinity title by winning the finale at Phoenix.
The 23-year-old Smith from Huntington Beach, California, led a race-high 77 of 154 over-scheduled laps and benefitted during an overtime attempt to achieve his first Truck Series title in his third attempt.
As Justin Allgaier prepares for the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship race at Phoenix Raceway, he does so with the confidence and experience of a seasoned veteran in the sport.
