Reed on Texas
“Texas is always an exciting race track, but it’s kind of bitter sweet going this time since the repave. The old surface was obviously really fun, a lot more slipping and sliding. Having flattened Turn One and Turn Two and widening the racing groove should make for better racing, at least for a little more options in lane choice. It is always a fun place and a great environment. Texas is one of my favorite places to visit and we are looking for another strong run at a 1.5-mile track this year.”
