Too many times in NASCAR do you hear of a rookie driver tapped to be a future star of the sport, only to be plagued with a series of issues or incidents that leave everyone wondering what could’ve been.
That much is true for Reed Sorenson, the 15+ year NASCAR veteran who was signed to Chip Ganassi’s Driver Development Program in the early 2000s. Sorenson’s career featured a promising start but was met with many ups & downs, including on-track incidents, subpar equipment, and departures from teams that still have Reed confused to this day.
Many of you may know Reed as a longtime fixture in the NASCAR Cup Series, grinding it out to help teams in the back half of the field achieve a better result or bring home a clean race car. Dale Jr sits down with Reed himself to walk through his upbringing, his career in NASCAR, his dominance in ASA and U.S. Legend Car racing, and what he’s up to now that he’s been out of the seat for a few years.
