Ryan Preece called the new NASCAR Cup Series superspeedway package a success after winning Saturday night’s race at Daytona, but not everyone shared his enthusiasm. Preece praised the changes in post-race comments, framing the win as proof the package worked. His team owner, Brad Keselowski, offered a far less enthusiastic take, admitting he couldn’t detect any difference from the previous setup.
The split reactions came during a post-race press conference where drivers and teams evaluated the revised rules. Preece’s victory provided an immediate data point for advocates of the package, while skeptics like Keselowski questioned its impact. The comments highlight the ongoing debate over whether the modifications achieved their intended goals.
NASCAR will likely review the feedback as it considers further adjustments to the superspeedway package. The next race on a high-speed oval could reveal whether the changes hold up under pressure.
