With simply 15 laps of the Daytona 500 to go, Christopher Bell was turned from the lead and got here skidding again down the observe. Eventual race winner William Byron narrowly prevented him, however the automobile straight behind — Preece, was not so lucky. The No. 60 Ford instantly went up into the air after slamming into Bell, however not in the best way we have come to count on. The automobile did what can solely be described as a wheelie because it moved in direction of the doorway of Flip 3 earlier than twisting sufficient to let the air absolutely get beneath it, flip the wrong way up, and skid down the observe earlier than rolling again over and slamming the skin wall. 

Fortunately, he climbed out of the automobile beneath his personal energy.

“I do not know if it is the diffuser or what that makes these vehicles like a sheet of plywood if you stroll out on a windy day,” mentioned Preece after being launched from the infield care heart. “However when the automobile took off like that and it acquired actual quiet, all I considered [was] my daughter. I am fortunate to stroll away however we’re getting actually near any individual not with the ability to. Very grateful however yeah, that sucks. This factor was quick.

This was alleged to be the beginning of a brand new starting for Preece, becoming a member of RFK Racing within the crew’s third entry. The 34-year-old driver hoped to open a brand new guide in his NASCAR profession, however his file of being on the flawed place on the worst time continues to observe him. On the identical backstretch throughout the summer season of 2023, he took an much more terrifying tumble whereas driving for Stewart-Haas Racing. The automobile flipped almost a dozen instances in a unending wreck that resulted within the grass being utterly faraway from that part (the ‘Le Mans Chicane’ or ‘Bus Cease’) of the two.5-mile superspeedway.
