Reed Looks for Win No. 2 of the Season in Atlanta
“Coming off a win really makes you look forward to the next race, you have a lot of momentum. Atlanta is a cool place, I think all drivers look forward to Atlanta. The worn out service and knowing that a repave is coming makes you definitely enjoy these races while they last. It’s a great place and I felt like we had a really fast race car there last year and didn’t quite execute, so looking to redeem that and continue the momentum we have.”
