Ryan Preece has been cleared to compete this weekend at Darlington Raceway and said he is “completely fine” in a video posted on social media.
Preece spent Saturday night at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona after a vicious barrel roll down the backstretch at Daytona International Speedway. Preece’s No. 41 Ford Mustang was tagged from behind by Erik Jones and sent veering to the left, where he collided with teammate Chase Briscoe and then became airborne while sliding sideways through the pavement and grass.
The Stewart-Haas Racing driver was discharged the following morning and has been back home in North Carolina with his family. Neither Stewart-Haas nor Preece have revealed any injuries were suffered.
“No (expletive), I’ll see you at Darlington,” Preece said in the video. “I mean, I’m sitting right here, I’m completely fine, and, you know, I feel good. And obviously, I’m ready to get to Darl ington.”
