RYAN REED, No. 16 Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang - Finishing Position: 3rd “Daytona is such an up and down race. You never know what you are going to get when you come here. Got involved in someone else's mess early on and just tried to recover all day. We picked the right lanes late in the race and got up to the top-10, then the leaders wrecked and the next thing you know we are on the front row. I didn’t think we had a good enough car to lead there with all the damage but we could push really well. I focused on that and my Ford Mustang had a lot of power. Thanks to Roush Yates and Jack and Lilly Diabetes and everyone that supports this deal. What a great way to start the season."

With the damage too extensive to repair on pit road the team was forced to settle for a 40th-place finish.
