ADVANCE NOTES

Reed at Phoenix

Reed has competed at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) seven times in the NASCAR XFIINTY Series.

Reed finished sixth in the fall last year at Phoenix, his best finish at the 1.0-mile track.  Reed qualified third for that race, which prior to his second-place starting position in Daytona this season, was his best XFINITY qualifying position.

Recapping Vegas

Ryan Reed started Saturday afternoon’s race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway from the 10th position and was a factor in the top-10 the majority of the 200-lap race, even a vibration mid-race and a loose handling No. 16 Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang couldn’t keep him from persevering.  When the checkered flag waved, Reed was scored ninth.

Reed on Phoenix

“Phoenix is obviously a really cool race track and I think a lot of drivers like it, being one of the few short tracks.  For me, being on the west coast is that much more special.  I have a ton of family every time I go out there.  I watched my Dad race there growing up and last year at the second Phoenix race we had one of our best races of the year, qualifying third and finishing sixth.  I have a lot of confidence going to Phoenix and I’m looking for another good run.”
