NASCAR World Congratulates “Superman” Ryan Preece as Wife Delivers Wholesome Update

The final race on Saturday sent shockwaves through the NASCAR community. Before the chequered flag was flown in, and the winner was declared, the iconic track of Daytona was engulfed with an eerie silence. It was only prayers and wishes that were circling the lips of the drivers and the audience alike, as they espied the harrowing crash of Ryan Preece.

There is no denying that the thrills of speed often entail perilous situations and oftentimes have the potency to transform into a dreaded moment. There have been instances where these crashes have claimed lives, and Daytona has already borne witness to such situations, and Saturday is one such day. Nevertheless, it seems that the dark clouds have dispersed as Ryan Preece’s wife updated on her husband’s health.

The Coke Zero Sugar 400 was perhaps one of the most aggressive races of the season, and why not? A total of 17 drivers were competing against one another to claim one last seat in the playoff. The drivers were ready to forgo their teammates, outduel them, and claim the last spot. However, everything came to a standstill, when Preece’s car barrel-rolled in the air a dozen times.

The incident occurred with just six laps to go. Preece who was also in dire need of a win to make it to the playoffs, made contact with his teammate Chase Briscoe. Preece’s car slid into the infield car and as it entered the grass cover, it almost glided upwards, flipping violently almost a dozen times before coming to rest, completely battered. As visibly destructive as the crash was, it was almost a grace of the heavens when the spectators saw Preece exiting the car on his own accord. 

He was later transported to the hospital for further medical attention. The community did not have to wait long and Ryan was released after being admitted overnight.

There is no denying the fact that the incident was harrowing. However, the vicissitudes of the incident were amplified by the fact that it was just days back that his wife, Heather Preece, had given birth to their beautiful daughter. The last thing that Preece would have wanted to happen was to situate his wife and daughter in a precarious situation.

Nevertheless, it seems that the dark times have come to a pass, as Preece’s wife posted an update on her husband’s health. She wrote along with a picture of their daughter, “Happy to be in her dad’s arms. It has been an overwhelming few weeks, but I’m just thankful the three of us are together today. Thank you will never be enough to everyone who reached out and sent well wishes.”
