Heather DesRochers & Ryan Preece

Born in 1990, Ryan Preece is a versatile NASCAR driver who competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series and occasionally in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He has a diverse racing background, with notable wins in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour 2013 and various appearances in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, ARCA Menards Series East and West, and the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour.

Heather DesRochers, who became Mrs. Preece in 2017, shares her husband’s love for racing. She also pursued a racing career and participated in NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program in 2009 and 2010. While she wasn’t selected for the program, her journey led her to meet Ryan at the Stafford Motor Speedway in 2009. In 2011, they even competed against each other in the S.K. Modified Series tournament, where Preece clinched the championship, and Desrochers earned Rookie of the Year. Beyond the racetrack, their love story blossomed.
