Derrick Finley Revolutionizes RFK Racing with Ryan Preece: The Untold Story

In the heart of the NASCAR world lies a hidden gem, Derrick Finley, the mastermind behind Ryan Preece’s resurgence at RFK Racing. While many may not have recognized his name at first, his impact on the No. 60 team has been nothing short of revolutionary. With an unparalleled engineering acumen and a strategic vision like no other, Finley has propelled RFK Racing towards its peak performance.

The alliance between Finley and Preece was destined to shake up the NASCAR scene, but it wasn’t without its challenges. However, a pivotal moment at Martinsville Speedway in April 2025 showcased the true genius of Finley. It was a testament to his meticulous planning and flawless execution that led Preece to a remarkable surge in performance, proving that luck had no role in their success.

Derrick Finley’s journey to becoming a seasoned crew chief is a tale of resilience and expertise. With over 20 years in the NASCAR industry, Finley has honed his skills as a brilliant engineer and a revered leader. His background in mechanical engineering and his stints at top racing teams have shaped him into a strategic powerhouse, capable of transforming mere potential into tangible success.

From optimizing aerodynamics to fine-tuning performance measures, Finley has left an indelible mark wherever he has worked. His transition to RFK Racing in 2022 marked the beginning of a new era for the team, culminating in the appointment as Ryan Preece’s crew chief for the No. 60 Ford Mustang. Preece’s endorsement of Finley speaks volumes about the trust and synergy between them, setting the stage for a remarkable partnership.

As the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season unfolds, all eyes are on Ryan Preece and Derrick Finley. With a string of top-10 finishes under their belt, including a remarkable comeback at Martinsville, the duo is poised for greatness. Preece’s hunger for victory combined with Finley’s strategic brilliance makes them a formidable force on the track, challenging the traditional powerhouses of the sport.

The synergy between driver and crew chief is evident in every race, from subtle adjustments to high-pressure decisions. Finley’s ability to read the race and make split-second calls has been instrumental in Preece’s recent success, showcasing a level of teamwork rarely seen in NASCAR. As they continue to defy expectations and push towards their first Cup Series victory, the Preece-Finley partnership is a force to be reckoned with.

With RFK Racing’s legacy of excellence and a new chapter written by Finley and Preece, the future looks brighter than ever for the No. 60 team. As they aim to break Preece’s winless streak and establish themselves as true contenders, one thing is clear – with Derrick Finley at the helm, anything is possible in the world of NASCAR.
