Ryan Preece is set to take over the No. 6 car for the upcoming 2027 NASCAR Cup season, after Brad Keselowski departs from the team. Currently driving the No. 60 for RFK Racing, Preece has achieved success with the number, including a win in the Bowman Gray Clash and his first-ever points-paying victory in the Daytona cutoff race.
He is the first driver to win a Cup race in the No. 60 since Bill Rexford in 1950. With Keselowski leaving after five years as co-owner and driver, Preece will assume the historic number. The No. 60 has a rich history, with over 30 Cup wins, and it is expected to become charter-less in 2027 unless a deal is made. Preece expressed his love for the number, stating that it represents more than just racing, but also the relationships and memories that have shaped his career.
Martin, Preece's team owner, praised the driver's dedication and racing prowess, believing he is a perfect fit to carry on the legacy of the No. 6.
