For the third time this season, Roush Fenway Racing’s Ryan Reed has a special guest riding along with him during Friday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway. The #16 American Diabetes Association Drive to Stop Diabetes presented by Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang will carry Jacob Hudson’s name above the passenger side window. Hudson is a Youth Ambassador for the American Diabetes Association’s Greater Cincinnati area. Hudson was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on April 18, 2013. The 14-year-old has refused to let diabetes slow him down. He continues to play basketball and is a red belt in Tae Kwon Do. The ‘Riding with Ryan’ program rolls into its third weekend at Kentucky Speedway. The name of a Youth Ambassador will be featured on the #16 Ford Mustang at 11 races this season, coinciding with races where there is an activation space for Drive to Stop Diabetes.(Roush Fenway)
