Texas One Year Ago
Ryan Reed drove his No. 16 Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang to an 11th-place finish Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway. Reed qualified ninth and ran as high as second-place, before his extremely loose-handling Ford shifted to the tight side after a two-tire pit stop as the laps dwindled down.

Reed on Texas
“Texas is so unique. There isn’t another corner in NASCAR that compares to turns one and two. It’s really important to hit your marks and be dialed in. Texas will be a good test for us and having speed there can carry over into places like Michigan, Kansas and Kentucky. I’m excited to get to Texas and see where we are at.”
