Roush Fenway Racing rookie Ryan Reed made his first NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) road course start this weekend at Road America. The rookie ran a solid race, spending the majority of the day inside the top-10. The final caution did not fall in the team’s favor, forcing the driver to pit road and ultimately finishing 21st in the No. 16 American Diabetes Association Drive to Stop DiabetesSM presented by Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang.

Chris Buescher headed to Road America with high hopes after his victory at the road course last year in the ARCA Racing Series.

When Roush Fenway Racing’s Ryan Reed was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, he was told he would never race again.

Alex Tagliani will be behind the wheel of the No. 22 Discount Tire Mustang for Team Penske in this weekend’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Road America.
