O'Reilly Series

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.

Austin Cindric and the No. 22 Discount Tire team overcame a weekend of adversity to record a solid third-place finish Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway.

Matt Tifft and the Anderson's Maple Syrup Team Battle to Seventh Place Finish "We had a great No. 2 Anderson's Maple Syrup Chevrolet at Texas today.

I struggled a little bit at the start of the race with a lack of rear grip, but that really came to me during the race with adjustments and as the track picked up more rubber."

AUSTIN CINDRIC, No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang -- Finished 3rd - WALK US THROUGH THAT INCIDENT WITH CHRISTOPHER BELL AND YOU ARE IN A MUST WIN SITUATION NEXT WEEKEND AT PHOENIX. WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH? “I have been in a must-win position since Kansas. For me that hasn’t changed. I was the car stuck on the bottom with one guy all over my tail and one guy all over my door. I moved up two inches and those were the two inches that the 20 was off my door."

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Autodesk Ford Mustang -- Finished 1st “I can’t believe it. The 1 is the best pusher in the series and I hated that I didn’t have him behind me. We did all we could.

We are going to Homestead and I think we have a great shot of winning.”
