Ryan Preece will drive the No. 60 Ford for Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, the organization announced Tuesday.

Preece will join co-owner/driver Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher in the team's three-car lineup.

"Having a third team gives us another shot at the win on any given weekend," Keselowski said over Zoom. "It's a great opportunity for us at RFK. Our goal is to be an elite organization, I would say a world-class organization, and to do that in NASCAR, you've got to win races. The more teams you have, the better that opportunity is to elevate all the programs."

It's been a long time coming. ????

Preece, 34, joins RFK on the heels of Stewart-Haas Racing closing its operations following this season.

"It's (an opportunity) that I'm really eager and excited for," Preece said. "It's somewhere that these guys had speed last year. I mean, you look at how many weeks in a row that Brad and Chris finished top two or top three and had some extremely good stats and found Victory Lane.

"So for me, it's a great opportunity, one that's filled with pressure. But I think if you've looked at my career in those pressure-type situations, I've succeeded. I'm grateful for the opportunity."

Preece is still looking for his first win in the Cup Series but has two each in the Xfinity Series and Truck Series.
