Reed on Dover
“Dover is a place I’ve worked really hard at getting better. I’ve spent a lot of time on the Ford simulator, spent a lot of time watching race footage, talking to teammates and just everyone I could to try and get better there. We got a top five last year and that was really encouraging. The second race was the flange fit body and a lot of new elements that we were navigating. The good news is going out there and getting that top five, I know what the car needs to feel like to be competitive there. I’m looking forward to going to Dover and building off of that strong run we had in the spring race.”
