Default preposition + to-infinitives ??

Dear Sir,
I am very excited to be member of this great site!!!!!!!!!!

My question;
Recently, I got a sentence whose Ms Hillary Clinton roared in the beginning of campaign last year, "I am in to win". Basically, I got the meaning of it.

As I have barely grammatical concepts, I doubt that it looks like a grammatical break.

The grammatical definition I have : Preposition could not be cooperated with to-infinitive directly and some replacement like a gerund, noun, or pronoun could be used directly after preposition.

As you can see the sentence, in(preposition)+to win(to-infinitive), does it have grammatical break?

Please make me understand what Ms Hillary Clinton said correctly.

Thanks,

South Korea
