RFK Racing's Ryan Preece is in a difficult position on Saturday night. He's starting from pole position for just the second time in his entire career with a legitimate shot of contending for the race win, but he has to pay close attention to gathering stage points for the battle around the playoff cut-line.
Preece has 211 starts in the Cup Series with zero race wins. He also enters this race 34 points outside of the playoffs with just two races left in the regular season. A victory would be a dream come true for the driver of the No. 60 and would solve all of his problems, but without a race win, maximizing points will be crucial over the course of 400 laps at Richmond Raceway.
