Reed on Michigan
“Michigan was one of the most disappointing races we had last year. We had a part failure in qualifying that we didn’t catch until after the race. We were top 10 in practice and I felt like I had a top five race car. If I had to look at where I had the best race car last year it was probably Michigan, but we had some unfortunate luck, so I’m going there looking for redemption. The Roush cars have always been strong there and getting a Ford in victory lane would be huge for a lot of reasons up there.”
