QUOTE WORTHY
Reed on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
“It’s cool to visit Loudon, especially with Fenway’s home base being so close. I have one start here a few years ago in the K&N Series, so hopefully it won’t take me too long to get familiar with the track again. I know we will have a strong Drive to Stop Diabetes Ford Mustang.”
