Jon Wood Solid In Series Return
 This has not been a season to remember thus far for Jon Wood, whose NASCAR Busch Series schedule was cut short by illness several months ago. But the silver lining appears that Wood may be able to finish off 2007 with superlative performances in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Wood became the fourth driver of the year in the No. 21 Wood Brothers/JTG Racing Ford at Kentucky Speedway and responded with a sixth-place finish.
Wood, a two-time series winner before his NASCAR Busch Series elevation, joins Kelly Bires, Stacy Compton and Mark Martin who previously scored top 10s for the John Monsam-directed team.
In reaching his Kentucky finish, Wood battled a loose truck and spotted the field a mid-race spin-out but recovered to pass teammate Joey Clanton in the waning laps. "It was a decent night. Everybody did what they were supposed to do. I think we started the race a little too loose, but it's just me not knowing a lot of truck racing, I guess," said Wood. "We overcame a lot so it was a pretty decent night." (Photo Credit: Rusty Jarrett/Getty Images for NASCAR)
