NASCAR issued a $50,000 penalty and 25-point deduction after reviewing Lap 101 contact in Turn 3 at Texas Motor Speedway involving the RFK Racing driver.
The sanction drops Preece one place to 13th in the standings, though he remains 38 points above the Chase for the Championship cutline.
Officials cited rulebook sections covering wrecking or spinning another car, and pointed to radio traffic and Preece's own comments about past problems with Gibbs.
