Ryan Preece linked to surprising NASCAR Cup Series team for 2025

Ryan Preece is the lone Stewart-Haas Racing driver in the NASCAR Cup Series still looking for a ride in 2025. Josh Berry is joining Wood Brothers Racing, Noah Gragson is moving to Front Row Motorsports, and Chase Briscoe will replace Martin Truex Jr. at Joe Gibbs Racing. However, Preece has been linked to a surprising NASCAR team in 2025.

According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Preece would be a possible candidate for Kaulig Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series with an open No. 16 car. Kaulig Racing has struggled to compete in the Cup Series this season, but Preece would be able to stay at NASCAR’s top level. Yet, the driver of the No. 41 car may want an opportunity to win races.

If so, Kaulig Racing’s Cup Series program may not be the right fit. Maybe Preece could move to the organization’s NASCAR Xfinity Series program and try to win races again. Either way, Preece still needs to find a ride as NASCAR enters the Olympic break. Preece has proven to be a winner in the lower ranks of NASCAR, so it could be smart to leave the Cup Series in 2025.
