After experiencing one of the most vicious wrecks in the recent history of the NASCAR Cup Series, Ryan Preece will race Sunday at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. “As you go in the air, it gets real quiet,” Preece recalled. It’s from spinning in the air, all that, the blood flow,” Preece explained. There was no doubt in Preece’s mind he would be back to race the Southern 500 at Darlington, ready to do his job for Stewart-Haas. While he knew no one would fault him for sitting out after the wreck, Preece was clear it simply wasn’t in his DNA as a race car driver. “I feel completely fine, so why stop?” Preece said. “It’s OK to not race, but it’s OK to race, and I think that’s what really needs to be said here.”.
