Nights like tonight remind us just how dangerous the sport that we all love can be, but also how far safety advancements have come in racing and how important having proper safety equipment truly is.

My thoughts and prayers are with Reed, Nick, Liz and the entire Reno's Racing camp after Reed’s extremely tough hit tonight at Wiscasset Speedway.

Although it was terrifying to witness, I was glad to see Reed awake and alert following the impact and know that he’ll be back in due time. 💙🏁
