We’re going into this race an underdog but there is great drive here & I cant wait to see what this hard-working team and I can do together.

Now, as for the Nationwide regulars sampling other forms of sports car machinery:
Ty Dillon announced Monday he’ll be in a TA2 class entry for Miller Racing in the Trans-Am race this weekend, the No. 12 Chevrolet Camaro, alongside team regulars Cameron Lawrence and Mel Shaw.
Meanwhile Ryan Reed, who has Type 1 Diabetes, will race in the Pirelli World Challenge race in the TCB class, driving the No. 12 American Diabetes Association/Lilly Diabetes/American Honda Honda Fit for Garrett Racing/Drive4Diabetes. He’ll drive one race and Danish driver Johan Schwartz will drive the other.
Dillon and Reed will still compete in the Nationwide race on Saturday.
