Top-5 season…..The 2011 season for Reed Sorenson has definitely been a note-worthy one. A fifth place finish in the driver’s standings will mark Reed’s second best season of his career. In 2005, Sorenson finished the season 4th in the standings with two wins driving for Chip Ganassi Racing. This season, Reed has driven 29 races for Turner Motorsports and now four races with MacDonald Motorsports. This year, Sorenson added a win to his resume at Road America as well as seven top-5’s, and 18 top-10’s.
Reed at Homestead…..In four previous NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at the 1.5 mile progressively banked oval in South Florida, Reed Sorenson’s best finish was a 4th. This came in 2004 in only his 5th ever start in the series driving for Chip Ganassi Racing. Reed will be looking better that finish this Saturday in his Bullet Liner/Foametix No. 82 Dodge.
Meet Reed at Fan-Fest….. Fans will have the chance to meet Reed on Thursday, November 17th at Homestead in the NASCAR Championship Drive Fan-Fest events. The event will begin at 5:00 p.m. with a 20 minute, on-stage Question and Answer session with the drivers. Then at 5:20, fans will have the chance to meet and get autographs from the participating drivers until 6:00 p.m.
Rough weekend at Phoenix…..The Phoenix race was definitely one that Reed and the Bullet Liner/Foametix No. 82 team would like to forget. After getting damage early on in the race, Reed was back on the track before getting a flat right front tire and slamming into the outside wall. Reed was un-injured in the accident but the same couldn’t be said for the MacDonald Motorsports No. 82.
