The 2011 event saw Reed pass current championship leader Ryan Dungey on the last lap of the race to take second behind race winner James Stewart, in a defining moment for the fledgling team.
"I am looking forward to tomorrows event," Reed said. "Oakland was where we recorded TwoTwo Motorsports first ever podium finish so it holds a special memory for all of us.
“It was awesome to get a win last weekend, especially at the third race of the year.
“It’s early in the season, so I am trying to stay consistent, to hopefully get more wins,” Reed added.
Reed currently sits second in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross standings, just four points shy of Ryan Dungey.
