Reed on Mid-Ohio
“Coming off the momentum of back-to-back top-10 finishes really puts us in a positive frame of mind for this weekend. Roush Fenway has a winning history at Mid-Ohio, so we expect a lot out of ourselves here. As long as we can stay out of trouble, there’s no reason we can’t contend for a win this weekend.”
