NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Preece will compete in the Monaco Ford Modified Tri-Track Series event at Stafford Motor Speedway on Wednesday, July 16, aiming for the win in the GAF Roofing Modified Masters 80-lap feature. This race marks an important opportunity for Preece to add to his impressive record on the Stafford track while competing against strong contenders in a highly anticipated event.
Building on a Strong Legacy at Stafford Speedway
The upcoming GAF Modified Masters will be Preece’s first race at Stafford since the 2023 SRX feature and his first appearance in a modified car at the venue since the 2022 NAPA Fall Final. Preece already holds 37 career feature wins at Stafford, including success across multiple divisions such as SK Modified®, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, Open Modified, and Modified Racing Series events. While confident, he acknowledges the challenge of securing another victory on this competitive course.
“For me, I always want to try to come to Stafford to race whenever I can,”
said Preece.
“When I was looking at the schedule for this year, there were a couple of mid-week opportunities that were available and with this race being Dover weekend and not a lot of distance to travel, it just made a lot of sense. Once I saw it, it was a definite to come race at Stafford with the Monaco Tri-Track Series. Thanks to RaceChoice.com, Flamingo Motorsports, and Sign Pro, without those guys I wouldn’t be able to come up and do this race.”

“To me it’s all about making sure my setup is good rather than getting acclimated to the modified,”
Preece added.
“It’s just like riding a bike and it should be a good time. The plan is to win. I don’t show up to the track to not win, but it’s not easy and trying to make my car better and faster won’t be easy by any means.”

Additional Excitement: Competing in the Cleetus McFarland New England 900
In addition to the GAF Roofing Modified Masters, Preece is set to race in the Cleetus McFarland New England 900 event at Stafford Speedway on Friday, July 18. Driving a nitrous-equipped Crown Victoria, he looks forward to a race that promises pure enjoyment alongside intense competition.
“When I come race the modified, it’s supposed to be fun but at the same time I put a lot of effort into the modified program, so as much as it’s fun, it can feel like work sometimes with all the things I’m doing. When I come for the Cleetus race, that’ll be all good and fun and I’m sure I’ll have a good time with that and thanks to BuildSubmarines.com and RaceChoice.com for the support.”
