Preece isn’t a bad guy but he does nothing to excite me. And I’m not seeing how his RFK equipment will radically improve where he is now. Maybe I’m missing something. Aside from his sponsor.

Maybe Preece will win a couple next year and make it to the final 12 or 8. I’m just not seeing it. Again not saying he can’t drive. Just that I am not seeing him as a consistent top 10 driver or feeling any excitement. I’m fine if I’m wrong and he lights it up. Guess we’ll start to see in 3 months.

Bullins has been around. He has been Keselowski's crew chief on the Penske 2 car.

Ryan Preece and short tracks
He fits in well with Buescher and Keselowski. All three have quietly become veterans. All three have been with Ford a long time. All three have lots of experience driving crap cars and getting the most out of them. Not saying RFK is crap cars AT ALL, but it is likely that the three of them are a wealth of information and know how to improve racecars. Just look at how far Buescher and Kez have taken RFK in 3 years.

I think Bullins could possibly elevate their racing. He was with Penske for a number of years and with Brad when he was a threat in the 2 car. I don't see a shop that the teams work separately with Brad being in charge so it's possible Bullins could be able to raise their level.
On the other hand, I've seen enough of Preece's racing. I think he came with the deal. Time will tell. Buescher was getting more out of JTG's cars than Preece was. I don't think that is going to change.

Bullins spent a lot of time in the Penske culture.
Hard to be critical of that choice.

Making sense of Kroger, Ryan Preece, RFK Racing and JTG
There are a lot of changes for a lot of teams and drivers ahead of 2025

I am a Ryan Preece doubter, for sure. But this is an interesting piece from Matt Weaver. He makes it pretty clear that Kroger's affection for Preece was very important in putting the Kroger-to-RFK move possible. And Tad Geschickter, another important player, lent his full support to Preece as well.
Time will tell. And I readily admit that Brad Keselowski does seem to have a very astute eye at spotting driver talent... such as an unemployed Joey Logano... and a very young, unproven Ryan Blaney, just to name two.

Road courses and short tracks.
I'll say that they were for the last couple of years before Brad got there, and much of his first year. Maybe not total crap but not close to the standards of the Martin-Biffle-Busch-Kenseth-Edwards era.
