Thankfully, Preece was able to exit the vehicle and was transported to a local hospital for more evaluation. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver was released the next day and now, his status for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race has been revealed.
Stewart-Haas Racing announced that Preece has been cleared to compete in this weekend’s Cup Series event at Darlington Raceway. It represents the first race of the 2023 NASCAR playoffs and while Preece did not make the show, it is still relieving to see him behind the wheel at Darlington.
