QUOTE WORTHY
Reed on racing at Dover International Speedway:
“Dover is definitely a tough track, but I’m looking forward to getting back there for the second time. This place is so fast and keeps you on your toes, but I feel like we learned a lot as a team last time we were here, and I’m hoping we can utilize that this weekend to get a solid finish in our Drive to Stop Diabetes Mustang.”
