Ryan Preece Seems Slower on Concrete Than on Asphalt
Ryan Preece is possibly having the best season he ever will have in the Cup Series. If he has a specialty, it is probably short track racing because of his vast Modified Series experience. Preece has shown bursts of dominance in the past, like when he led 135 laps from the pole at Martinsville in 2023 and led 60 laps from the pole at the last short track race at Richmond before finishing a miserable 35th after atrocious strategy. However, Preece has never led at Bristol and he finished only 20th in his first race here for RFK Racing and considering also his lackluster Dover results, he seems to be weaker on concrete than asphalt short ovals. Preece has randomly shown greater speed than he ever has before on a variety of tracks this year, so it wouldn't be surprising if he did so again at Bristol, but starting 20th, you shouldn't count on it.
