Jack Wood will not compete in Richmond NASCAR Truck race due to injury

During the NASCAR Truck race at Watkins Glen, Jack Wood suffered a major hit against the guardrail in the esses while driving his No. 91 Chevrolet.

He was evaluated and released from the infield care center, but in an announcement on Thursday, the team revealed that Wood will not be racing this weekend at Richmond Raceway.

Bill McAnally Racing stated that it was a “precautionary measure due to an injury sustained at Watkins Glen International. The No. 91 entry has been withdrawn from the event. An update on Wood’s status will be announced at a later date.”

With no replacement driver, the entry list is down to 36 trucks for Richmond, so there will be no DNQs. No other updates were provided regarding the kind of injury he suffered.

Wood is competing full-time in the Truck Series this year, scoring one top ten in 17 starts. He currently sits 19th in the championship standings. The 25-year-old has 78 career starts in the Truck Series, with his best finish coming at Rockingham earlier this year, where he finished seventh.
