Racing career

edit

Wood competed part-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2019 and again in 2020 when the series became the ARCA Menards Series West after NASCAR's merger with ARCA. Driving for his family-owned team, Velocity Racing, Wood collectively scored eight top-10s and one top 5 in those two years in his No. 78 car.

On November 2, 2020, it was announced that Wood would be joining GMS Racing in 2021 to compete full-time in the ARCA Menards Series East as well as all the Sioux Chief Showdown races in the main ARCA Menards Series, replacing 2019 and 2020 East Series champion Sam Mayer in the team's No. 21 car. This would also mean that he would also become a member of the team's driver development program, Drivers Edge Development.[1] However, these plans quietly changed, as Wood and his GMS No. 21 were entered for the first two races on the main ARCA Menards Series schedule (which they were not originally scheduled to enter), and they skipped the second race of the East Series schedule, which indicated that they would instead run full-time in the main ARCA Menards Series rather than the East Series.

On May 13, 2021, it was announced that Wood would make his NASCAR Truck Series debut for GMS in the team's No. 24 truck at Circuit of the Americas and would also run the next week's race at Charlotte. The opportunity came after the full-time driver of the No. 24, Raphaël Lessard, could no longer run a full season in that truck due to lack of funding.[2]

Wood and his No. 21 car ended up skipping the main ARCA Menards Series race at Toledo (he was at COTA on the same day for the Truck Series race), which meant that they no longer were attempting the full season.

 
Wood's No. 24 truck at Sonoma Raceway in 2022

On June 10, 2021, GMS announced Wood would pilot the No. 24 truck for the remainder of the 2021 season (although the team would replace him with Doug Coby at Bristol). He remained with the team in the No. 24 for the full Truck Series season in 2022.[3]

 
Wood's No. 6 ARCA car at Sonoma in 2023

Wood drove part-time in the No. 51 truck for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Truck Series 2023 in the team's first year with Chevrolet. He also drove part-time in the ARCA Menards Series again, driving the No. 6 car for Rev Racing in the main series, the East Series and the West Series. In the main ARCA Series/East Series combination race at Bristol, Wood drove a third car for the team, the No. 51 (his Truck Series number with KBM), as Lavar Scott, who drove full-time for Rev in the East Series that year, was driving the No. 6 car. Wood also drove the No. 28 car for Pinnacle Racing Group in the West Series season finale at Phoenix.

On December 3, 2023, a user on NASCAR Reddit posted a picture of a hauler at the McAnally-Hilgemann Racing shop with the No. 91, Jack Wood's name, and the Truck Series logo on it, revealing that Wood will drive for the team in the series in 2024.[4] On December 6, 2023, it was announced Wood would drive part-time for MHR in the Craftsman Truck Series in the No. 91, and full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West in the No. 16 Chevy.[5]
