QUOTE WORTHY

Reed on racing at Iowa Speedway:

“I’m really looking forward to the second half of the season, and visiting tracks for the second time around.  I feel like I’ve learned a lot as a driver, and I know the team is constantly working on making these cars faster.  I always enjoy racing under the lights, so I’m hoping we can put our Drive to Stop Diabetes Mustang out front.”
