Wood to drive the Wood Bros No 21 at Talladega
Quote selected text Published April 21st, 2008 in NASCAR News
Jon Wood will make his 2008 Sprint Cup Series debut in the Wood Brothers Racing #21 Honey Buns Ford in the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, April 27th. Since the race was not a scheduled event for Bill Elliott, the team felt that Jon was a logical choice given his experience in the Nationwide and Craftsman Truck Series on superspeedways.
Jon has a busy schedule this week as he is also entered to drive the #21 Air Force Ford in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 250 CTS race at the Kansas Speedway on April 26th. The team is making every effort to make sure Jon participates in both events. An alternative driver is being considered to practice, qualify and possibly race the truck if arrangements cannot be made to get Jon to the Kansas Speedway.
- Jon Wood OK after car accident
- Air Force returns to the Wood Bros No 21, Wood to drive
- Jon Wood to run the No 21 at Richmond
- Elliott to drive No. 21 Wood Bros Ford during Speedweeks
- Wood Bros and crew chief Nead split
I think Jon should have set this one out and raced in Richmond.
I think it’s pathetic to hire your own son even though he doesn’t do well at racing.
