As the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway for the 2025 Jack Link’s 500, fans are expressing apprehension about Ryan Preece’s return to the track. Preece’s previous airborne crash at Talladega has left a lasting impression, leading to a mix of concern and dark humor among the NASCAR community.

On social media, fans have been sharing their predictions and fears regarding potential incidents. One user quipped, “If I had a nickel for every time Ryan Preece flipped, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot… but it’ll be three by Sunday.” Such comments highlight the anxiety surrounding the high-speed, unpredictable nature of Talladega races.
Despite the concerns, Preece has shown resilience and determination. Now driving for RFK Racing, he has achieved his best Cup Series standing, currently sitting 14th in points. Preece has also been vocal about the need for solutions to prevent airborne accidents, emphasizing the importance of safety advancements in the sport.
As the race approaches, fans and analysts alike are watching closely to see how Preece will perform at Talladega. While some express concern, others see this as an opportunity for Preece to demonstrate his growth and skill on one of NASCAR’s most challenging tracks.
The Jack Link’s 500 is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday and will be broadcast on FOX.
