Racing career
Reed began racing at age 4, and in 2009, won the Legends Division championship at Irwindale Speedway. In 2010, he entered the Super Late Model Division, and became the track's youngest Super Late Model winner, and won Rookie of the Year. At age 17, Reed moved from Bakersfield, California to Mooresville, North Carolina to focus on racing. In 2011, Reed ran in various series, including the Pro Allstars Series, Whelen All-American Series and the K&N Pro Series East. During the year, Reed was expected to run a Late Model as a development driver with Kyle Busch Motorsports until his diagnosis with type 1 diabetes.[1] In December 2011, Reed was announced as a part-time driver in the ARCA Racing Series for Venturini Motorsports.[2] Reed ran 14 events in the team's No. 15,[3] recording six top tens and a 14th-place points finish.[4]
In 2012, Reed made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the No. 5 for Wauters Motorsports,[5] finishing 17th.[6] In 2013, Reed joined Roush Fenway Racing in the Nationwide Series, driving No. 16 Ford Mustang, and running various races during the 2013 season with Eli Lilly and Company and the American Diabetes Association's Drive to Stop Diabetes campaign as sponsor. Reed made his Nationwide debut in the ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond International Raceway,[7] finishing 16th. Reed ran six races during the season,[8] recording his first top-ten after finishing 9th in the Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond.[9] On October 11, 2013, Roush Fenway Racing announced that Reed would run the No. 16 in the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series season full-time, with Lilly Diabetes and the ADA sponsoring full-time. The sponsorship has been reported to be worth $5 million annually.[10][11]
On February 21, 2015, Reed won his first Xfinity Series race in the season-opening Alert Today Florida 300 at Daytona International Speedway, pushed by teammate Chris Buescher past leader Brad Keselowski on the final lap of the race.[11] On June 20, 2015, Reed won his first career ARCA Racing Series race in the Scott 150 at Chicagoland Speedway driving for Lira Motorsports. Reed led the final 70 laps of the 100 laps race, capturing the Valvoline Lap Leader award. It was the first ARCA Series win for Lira Motorsports.[12] Reed ended the 2015 Xfinity season a distant 10th in points, the Daytona victory being his only top 10 of the year.
Reed is running the full Xfinity season in 2016. In early 2016, Reed attempted the Truck race at Daytona driving the No. 58 Ford F-150 for Lira Motorsports, but failed to qualify.[13] As of the 2016 VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300, Reed has scored five tens, exceeding his one-top ten runs in 2014 and 2015.
On September 28, 2016, it was announced by RFR that Reed would attempt his Sprint Cup Series debut at Talladega in the Hellmann's 500, driving the No. 99 Ford Fusion.[14] Reed became the first driver in NASCAR to manage his diabetes and race in the Sprint Cup Series. After starting 18th, he finished 26th.[15]
Personal life
Reed's father, Mark Reed, is a former NASCAR driver[16] who has two K&N West wins and two Cup starts.[17]
In February 2011, Reed was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes,[18] and doctors stated he would be unable to race again.[19] As a result, Reed became a diabetes advocate, and established the foundation Ryan's Mission.[20] Reed installed a drink system in his car,[18] along with a blood glucose monitor on the car's dashboard which displays data from a wireless device attached to Reed's stomach.[16][11] During races, Reed would monitor his blood glucose levels,[18] while Roush engine tuner Craig Herrmann would inject Reed with insulin during pit stops.[1][11] Reed is one of two drivers in a national racing series with type 1 diabetes, along with IndyCar Series driver Charlie Kimball.[21]
