for the rest of the year. However, he returned to compete in some late model races on occasion, returning to the Wauters Motorsports No. 5 team. In 2020, Reed was without a ride again. For the time being, he was announced to serve as a driver coach for Velocity Racing in the ARCA Menards Series West with their No. 78 team and driver Jack Wood, who is also from California like Reed. In 2021, Reed returned to the driver's seat for the first time in two years when he competed in the Truck Series race at Richmond in the No. 49 for CMI Motorsports. Team owner Ray Ciccarelli was originally going to drive the truck in the race, but after the team did qualify for it based on which other teams entered the race as part of the lack of qualifying due to COVID-19, Ciccarelli stepped aside in favor of Reed in an effort to get the team passed Norm Benning's No. 6 in the owner points, which would likely lock the No. 49 into future races they entered. On May 3, 2021, it was announced that Reed would join GMS Racing to drive their No. 24 at Darlington, after that truck's normal driver, Raphaël Lessard, struggled to find sponsorship and as a result was taken out of the ride. Personal life Reed's father, Mark Reed, is a former NASCAR driver who has two K&N West wins and two Cup starts. Reed is the youngest of four children. In February 2011, Reed was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and doctors stated he would be unable to race again. As a result, Reed became a diabetes advocate, and established the foundation Ryan's Mission. Reed installed a drink system in his car, along with a blood glucose monitor on the car's dashboard which displays data from a wireless device attached to Reed's stomach. During races, Reed would monitor his blood glucose levels, while Roush engine tuner Craig Herrmann would inject Reed with insulin during pit stops. Reed is one of three drivers in a national racing series with type 1 diabetes, along with IndyCar Series drivers Charlie Kimball and Conor Daly.
