Ryan Preece Unlikely to Benefit From Ford Speed at Atlanta
4 weeks agoRyan Preece has not had the speed of any of his Stewart-Haas Racing teammates this season, and that looks likely to continue in this afternoon's Atlanta race. While all three of his teammates have had bursts of speed on drafting tracks, Preece mostly hasn't since his JTG-Daugherty Racing days and his 21st place qualifying run is very poor when considering the Ford dominance in qualifying; the Rick Ware Racing cars were the only Fords that were slower. Preece has also failed to lead a lap all season and hasn't even really contended to as his best average running position was 15th. Although most of the Ford drivers have to be taken seriously considering the Fords seem to have the fastest cars on drafting tracks although they tend not to win, Preece is a Ford driver you can likely write off.
