RFK Racing confirmed on Saturday that Ryan Preece will remain with the team for the 2027 season. Team co-owner Brad Keselowski spoke with reporters at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to clarify the status of the 35-year-old driver as the team prepares for the future.

Preece, who currently drives the No. 60 Ford, is locked in through the next campaign. Keselowski noted that the team made the decision to pick up the driver's option on his existing multiyear contract several months ago. This move ensures stability for the No. 60 program as the organization looks to maintain its current presence in the garage.

This confirmation aligns with statements made by RFK Racing President Chip Bowers earlier this year. The leadership team previously expressed a clear intent to keep all three Cup Series teams on the track throughout the 2027 season. By securing Preece now, the team eliminates uncertainty surrounding one of its key driver seats.

Keselowski described the move as a way to keep Preece within the organizational structure for the long term. The veteran driver remains a central part of the team's plans as they continue to compete in the Cup Series. Supporters and industry observers can expect the No. 60 car to stay on the grid under the same pilot next year.
