"NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Preece will remain overnight at Halifax Health Medical Center for continued observation," Stewart-Haas Racing said in a statement. "The driver of the No. 41 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing is awake, alert and mobile and has been communicating with family and friends. Preece will undergo another evaluation by medical personnel later this morning. An update will be provided in the afternoon."

Preece joined Stewart-Haas Racing for the 2023 season, replacing Cole Custer in the No. 41 car. He's currently 26th in the Cup standings.
