Reed on Mid-Ohio
“We’ve been really good at Mid-Ohio and have had some speed when it rained a few years ago, and also when it’s been dry. We’ve had some good qualifying results too. Taking care of our race car will be the biggest thing. The track is really narrow and there are a lot of tight sections, it’s easy to get yourself in trouble. It’s on me to take care of my stuff to be there at the end. It’s easy to get aggressive and get frustrated in the middle part of the race especially on a tight track like that. I just need to lean on my experience.”
