This may have been the worst kept silly season secret of the 2024-2025 NASCAR silly season news cycle. RFK Racing has finally announced their three driver lineup for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign with Ryan Preece joining the team along with new large scale sponsor Kroger which will jump ship over from JTG. I want to look into how this will change the dynamic of RFK as well as how Ryan Preece will now have the absolute best opportunity in his NASCAR Cup Series career so far. Ryan Preece and Kroger to RFK Racing in 2025!

How do you think Ryan Preece will perform in 2025?
Let's see if the curse of the 60 car is real
Not a big SECRET. The story has been out for a month. They haven,t made a FORMAL announcement until everything has been finalized.
Talk about coming Full Circle Considering that Kroger sponsored both Buescher & Preece when they drove for JTG Daugherty Racing
His best chance yet , good luck Ryan Preece 😊
I’ve been waiting for Preece to do well his entire Cup career, and if it doesn’t happen at RFK, it sure as shit won’t happen any time soon.
I expect him to run just as mediocre as does, but hey, prove me wrong
Ryan deserves it
NRF Productions are surely jumping on joyful right now
This is a great move for Ryan’s career. Up until now, he hasn’t been in the best equipment. Now with RFK expanding to a 3 car team, I think Preece will have a chance to run really well. Time will tell though.
I’m a Preece fan since his modified days and it’s funny people wanna shit on Preece yet praise josh berry and noah gragson. Well they are all great drivers but SHR had terrible race cars by the time the three got there and all sucked in 2024. And Preece doesnt come from money/ the money these other guys have. And preece performa when given good cars. But he needs to win next year no iff ands or butts unless the equipment is dog shit.
I can see Ryan winning with this team. Maybe not the first year but probably. This kid is good. He's been running in subpar equipment. He knows how to drive and win in good equipment. I'm looking forward to next year to see how he does!
I'm not a fan of your new channel format. Been watching you for awhile and it's getting boring. It's becoming a low budget copy and paste of Out of the Groove and you are too opinionated.
This will be the best chance ryan has ever had to not only win a race but to just compete
As a life long mark martin fan i grew up in the roush dominance era. I can literally tell you theyre team downfall step by step. Erik Darnell instead of danny O'Quinn. I honestly think they didnt pick danny because of his weight.
In the back like usual
I feel like this might be Ryan Preece's last shot in Cup. It's going to be interesting to see how he'll do with a team on the rise vs a team that declined.
Top 20 in points would be a good year for Ryan Preece butts that's about it.
Ao this pos gets a ride but Noah doesn't make it make sense
and Chris Buescher is still the most underrated driver in the garage.
Preece just needs to do his best out there in 2025.
That's all
This kid really hasn’t proved anything so I don’t know what RFK is going to prove it’s a bust
Remember 3-4 dollar butter not anymore close to 9 bucks. You people know Kroger made close to 1.5 billion last year
As a long-time Mark Martin fan, I have very mixed feelings about Roush. He gave Mark his second chance and they did well. Yet I think Jack got in the way of himself at times. At others he seemed to try to run a lean operation and I think his method started showing cracks when the economy crashed in 2008.
Sometimes I think his other habits of letting teams go their own way most of the time was detrimental, but IDK. I hope BradK can turn it around. He's the only guy in the 6 I am happy to have seen won in it. Hopefully there are brighter days ahead.
I feel very similar. I said it on Eric's video too, he needs to finish top 20 in points this upcoming year. He doesn't need to win or make the playoffs, but I don't want to see a Harrison, Burton, Cindric type who gets 1 win then runs below top 20.
I think he will be in the back like all the rest of his career
So this means Kroger would have been dennys new sponsor, now that that’s out of the question who will be the new primary for the 11, will a current sponsor step up or will they get a new sponsor, maybe get get the oracle deal done?
Wrecky spinhouse running out of sponsors 😂
I was an active fan on the Roush boards. I remember wishing Newman would drive for them. Unfortunately he got his chance when both team and driver were at their lowest.
Well when a team is picking there drivers reality game show style it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they go into a death spiral.
Preece is headed towards failure, Im pretty sure the #60 car is cursed for disappointment lol
We might be seeing a sleeping giant waken up.
I’m confident in Brad’s judgment. He’s the reason Logano got a second chance with Penske and look at the success Logano has had. Brad has also helped develop Blaney thru his old truck team and has pulled Buescher under his wing. Brad is a helluva leader as much as he is a racecar driver. He’s definitely suited for an ownership/coaching role. I’m just saying, he hasn’t gotten one wrong yet!
I met Ryan at Atlanta he’s a great driver.
I am so stoked for Ryan Preece to be in a good car! This dude is gonna be my number 1 cup driver I’ll be pulling for this year.
Does RFK have a third charter? I didn’t hear any mention of that.
AH, how disloyal we fans are to drivers. Just 2 short years ago, Ryan Preece was seen as the saviour for the 41 team, and Cole Custer "didn't deserve to be here."
I'm mixed on Preece…if he's as good as the fanboys say he is he's got no excuses now, this will make or break his careeer…but if he ends up sucking Brad and Roush can find another driver and put him in the 60…any driver would be happy to get that car…that said I know 60 has history with Roush but 26 or even 28 as a tribute to Yates would've been a cooler number choice.
