Reed on Loudon
“I think as a company we need to get better at short tracks. Our 1.5-mile program is leaps and bounds ahead of where we were a year ago. Our road course and speedway stuff if pretty solid. It’s the short tracks I have circled on my to do list. I spent some time in the sim working on New Hampshire, running through some changes. I felt like we found a little bit, but still need to be better. I’m ready to get there and find some things to see if we can make our short track stuff better. I really enjoy going up there, the fans are great and the race track is so much fun. It can be really hard to pass, but it is also racy there. If you have a good car then you can really make some stuff happen there, so I’m looking forward to this weekend."
