Derrick Finley Named Crew Chief for RFK Racing’s No. 60 Cup Series Entry

Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing (RFK) is excited to announce NASCAR veteran Derrick Finley as the Crew Chief for its new No. 60 Ford Mustang, driven by Ryan Preece, for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Finley, a seasoned NASCAR professional with over 20 years of experience, joined RFK in 2022. Throughout his career, he has taken on roles such as Director of Operations, Technical Director, and Competition Director, in addition to his time as a crew chief. This wealth of experience positions him perfectly to lead the No. 60 team as RFK expands to a three-car organization in 2025.

In 2024, Finley served as the crew chief for RFK’s #Stage60 program, leading the No. 60 team in three races with drivers David Ragan, Cam Waters, and Joey Hand. His deep technical expertise and strategic mindset earned high praise from RFK co-owner Brad Keselowski:

“We’re thrilled to have Derrick lead the No. 60 team,” said Keselowski. “His experience and technical knowledge of the sport will play a crucial role in the initial development and growth of the No. 60 team.”

Finley expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity:
“I am incredibly excited to lead the No. 60 team. I’m looking forward to working with Ryan and the entire team. It’s a great opportunity to help start up a new team as we continue to grow at RFK Racing.”

Driver Ryan Preece also shared his confidence in Finley’s leadership:
“Derrick will be a big help in getting the team integrated into RFK processes. His experience with the procedures the organization has in place will help lay the foundation for the No. 60 car.”

A graduate of the University of New Mexico with a degree in mechanical engineering, Finley brings a rare blend of technical expertise and hands-on NASCAR experience to the team.

The No. 60 Ford Mustang will debut at the Busch Light Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium on February 2, 2025, before heading to the iconic Daytona 500 on February 15.
