After battling a loose truck during qualifying, Reid would have to start the 200-lap race from the back of the field. After the drop of the green flag, Reid began to diligently work his way through the field. By lap 50, sitting in 21st position, Reid radioed to crew chief, Mark Nelson that his truck was loose in, tight in the center and loose off. After pitting for four tires, fuel and a major chassis adjustment on lap 59, Reid would restart from the 29th position.

The night would continue to be long for Reid as his truck became increasingly tighter in the center of the turns, making it impossible for him to make up any ground. After another round of pit stops on lap 80 and another chassis adjustment, Reid found himself restarting back in the 26th position, where he qualified. After losing a lap on the race track on lap 108, Reid was happy to see the fifth caution flag of the night on lap 127, allowing him to once again stop to the attention of his crew for more adjustments to his ill-handling truck.

By lap 137, Reid radioed to his crew that his truck was coming around but that traffic was a concern as he couldn't go anywhere on the .686-mile oval. Reid worked hard to get himself in front of the other lap down trucks, putting himself in the position to receive the coveted "lucky dog" award should a caution come out. On lap 186, he finally got his wish as the 10th caution of the day waved for a wreck in turn one. The No. 25 truck would be scored as the first truck one lap down; awarding Reid the "lucky dog" award.

But unfortunately the night's troubles weren't over yet. After driving past the field to get his lap back, Reid would come down pit road for four tires, fuel and a chassis adjustment. But due to a miscommunication in the pits, as Reid was leaving pit road, the field was taking the green flag; putting Reid a lap down again. But this time, with 10 laps to go, Reid would be relegated to a disappointing 24th place finish in front of his hometown crowd.

"We had a long night tonight. The truck was so tight all night, making it hard to pass anyone in the corners," said Reid. "We loosened it up towards the end, but I was stuck in the back in traffic, making it hard to work my way up to the front. We got the lucky dog back there at the end and were going to be in good shape. But we had a little miscommunication on pit road and we came out of the pits when the field was taking the green. It was a long night, but we have to look at the bright side. We gained a position in the points; we're in the top-20 now. I'm real proud of my guys; they did a great job in the pits all night. It was awesome being back here in Indiana in front of my hometown crowd."
