Contact at the front of the field brought out the caution on lap one Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway. Reed avoided any major damage in the melee, but suffered some cosmetic hood damage that required multiple trips down pit road for bearbond. Reed rebounded from the early contact and by the end of the race was in contention for a solid top-10 finish, until another competitor got underneath him on the track causing the No. 16 Drive Down A1C Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang to get into the outside wall. The damage was too severe to continue, sending Reed to the garage four laps shy of the scheduled distance and scored with a 29th-place finish.
