Reed has competed at Road America in the NASCAR XFINITY Series just once, finishing 21st after starting 14th in 2014. In his first appearance, Reed ran just outside of the top 10 for most of the race but fell back after having to pit for fuel as the race was extended by a late caution.

Last week in Bristol, late race contact put a damper on the hopes for a good run for Dakoda Armstrong.

Historically, RPM has had strong runs at Road America in each of its three starts, before rain or accidents changed the course of their race.
