Reed on Richmond
“Racing during the day at Richmond is going to be so different than what we are used to. It’s going to make practice really important and I think the groove will widen-out more than it does at night. I love that place and it’s so special to remember the sights and sounds of my first XFINITY Series race here. This track reminds me so much of the D-shaped tracks I grew up racing on and it’s just tons of fun.”
