Preece 26th at RIR

Ryan Preece drove the Flex Seal Liquid Chevrolet to a 26th-place finish in Friday night’s Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway.

Preece qualified 16th. The race saw only two caution flags, limiting advance opportunities for drivers in mid-pack.

“It was a hard night to make up ground,” Preece said. “The long green-flag runs were tough, and the tires went away quick. We learned a lot, though.”

Preece, who ran as high as 12th, stayed 17th in Xfinity points.
