RFK Racing will expand to a three-car operation in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, adding Ryan Preece as driver of the No. 60 Ford Mustang alongside current drivers Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher. The team will utilize a charter leased from Rick Ware Racing for the new entry.

Kroger joins RFK Racing as a primary sponsor, transitioning from JTG Daugherty Racing, where they had been since 2010. The sponsorship program will feature 20 different Kroger-affiliated brands across all three team cars throughout the season.

Preece moves to RFK from the now-closed Stewart-Haas Racing, where he competed for two seasons and secured seven top-10 finishes. The 2025 season will mark his sixth full-time Cup Series campaign, building on his 187 career starts.

"Ryan Preece is who we identified from day one when discussing this third entry," said RFK Racing president Steve Newmark. "His young talent from the grassroots level all the way up to the Cup Series is something that excites us moving forward."

Kroger will continue its NASCAR marketing program through Brand Activation Maximizer (BAM), led by Tad and Jodi Geschickter. "We are excited to continue working with Tad and Jodi Geschickter through their marketing firm, BAM, as we move into this new chapter with RFK Racing," said Brent Cox, Kroger's director of health and baby care.

This expansion marks RFK Racing's return to a three-car operation for the first time since 2016.
