In an exciting partnership rooted in Connecticut pride, Mohawk Northeast, Inc. has announced it will sponsor Ryan Preece’s No. 60 car for three races in the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series. The announcement solidifies a growing bond between the Plainville, Connecticut-based driver and the family-owned construction company that shares his local roots and commitment to excellence.
From Local Roots to NASCAR’s Big Stage
Ryan Preece, a native of Berlin, Connecticut, has long been a fan favorite for his blue-collar work ethic and relentless determination to succeed in NASCAR. After making a name for himself on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, Preece transitioned to the national stage, competing in both the Xfinity and Cup Series.
Mohawk Northeast, a leader in heavy civil construction and engineering, has deep ties to the Northeast racing community. The company has supported short-track racing for years and sees this partnership as a natural extension of its commitment to motorsports and local pride.
“Ryan embodies everything we stand for: hard work, dedication, and never giving up,” said Mohawk Northeast President Joe Daddona. “We’re thrilled to be part of his journey and can’t wait to see the No. 60 car on the track with our logo.”
Three Races, One Big Opportunity
Mohawk Northeast will adorn the No. 60 Ford Mustang for three select races in 2025, although the specific events have not yet been disclosed. These races are expected to include high-profile stops on the NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule, where Preece has a history of strong performances.
Preece expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying, “It’s always special to represent a company from back home. Mohawk Northeast has been a big supporter of racing in the Northeast, and now we’re taking that to the national level. I’m proud to carry their name on the No. 60 car, and I can’t wait to get to work.”
The Return of the No. 60
The No. 60 car has a storied history in the Xfinity Series, with Roush Fenway Racing fielding it for many years. For 2025, the number returns under Preece’s leadership in collaboration with a yet-to-be-named team. This marks a significant moment as Preece seeks to bring the No. 60 back into the spotlight with competitive performances and, hopefully, a trip to Victory Lane.
“The No. 60 has a lot of history, and we’re ready to add to it,” Preece said. “Having Mohawk Northeast on board makes it even more meaningful.”
Building Momentum for 2025
The partnership comes at a critical time in Preece’s career as he looks to rebound and reestablish himself as a contender in NASCAR. After a season of ups and downs in the Cup Series, Preece is eager to prove himself in the Xfinity Series, where he’s previously shown the ability to win races and contend for titles.
The addition of Mohawk Northeast as a sponsor provides a significant boost to his efforts. With a company that shares his Connecticut roots and racing passion, Preece believes this partnership will resonate with fans and fuel his drive for success.
“The support from Mohawk Northeast means everything,” Preece added. “It’s not just about the sponsorship—it’s about representing where we come from and showing that hard work pays off.”
Fan Excitement and Hometown Pride
The announcement has already generated buzz among fans, especially in the Northeast, where Preece is a hometown hero. The partnership with Mohawk Northeast taps into the region’s strong racing culture and community pride, creating a perfect synergy between driver and sponsor.
With the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season just around the corner, Ryan Preece and Mohawk Northeast, Inc. are gearing up for an exciting year ahead. Fans can expect to see the No. 60 car sporting Mohawk Northeast’s colors as Preece takes on some of NASCAR’s toughest tracks.
As Preece looks to make a statement in his return to the Xfinity Series, this partnership stands as a testament to the power of local connections and shared values. For Mohawk Northeast and Ryan Preece, it’s truly a match made in Connecticut.
Stay tuned for more updates on the No. 60 car, including its 2025 schedule and race-day debut. One thing is certain: when Preece hits the track, the pride of Connecticut will be right there with him.
