Ryan Preece will drive RFK Racing’s No. 6 Ford in the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season, NASCAR reported Wednesday. He will move from the organization’s No. 60 entry and succeed Brad Keselowski in the No. 6.

Preece’s current team will move with him, including crew chief Derrick Finley. RFK said the No. 6 will compete as a chartered entry for the full 2027 season.

The Connecticut driver joined RFK in 2025. He earned his first points-paying Cup Series victory at Daytona International Speedway in August and also won this year’s Cook Out Clash, according to the team’s announcement.

Preece will become the sixth full-time driver of RFK’s No. 6. Mark Martin drove the entry from 1988 through 2006, while Keselowski has driven it since 2022.

RFK said it will announce further details about the future of the No. 60 entry later. The announcement confirms Preece’s new number and continuing personnel without setting out that entry’s next driver or full 2027 plans.
