Preece 23rd in Charlotte Chase

Ryan Preece scored a 23rd-place finish in Sunday’s Drive for the Cure 300 Xfinity Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Preece, driving the Rockstar Energy Drink Chevrolet, qualified 30th and moved up through the first part of the race. He reached 21st.

With four races left in the Xfinity season, Preece is 17th in series points.

“It was a pretty good day for our second career race at Charlotte,” Preece said. “Charlotte presents a big challenge, and it’s one of the longest races of the year. We’ll take another step there next time.”
