For Jon and Keven Wood, it's not backyard racing anymore on the go-cart track their grandfather, Glen Wood, had built with his bull dozer when they were younger in Stuart, VA. The racing cousins are testing the #21 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series machine Wednesday and Thursday together for the first time at Martinsville Speedway.

Keven Wood is the 23 year old son of Wood Brothers Racing Co- Owner Len Wood and Jon, the 26 year old son of Co-Owner Eddie Wood. Aside from having the family lineage in NASCAR, both Jon and Keven have had successful young racing careers. Keven began his racing career in the INEX Legends Semi-Pro division in 2002, when he clinched the INEX Legends Semi-Pro division title, then went on to win more races to become the Virginia State Champion. He quickly moved up to the ultracompetitive  NASCAR Weekly Dodge Series where he won poles and several races.  Jon's extensive experience in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series showed in 2007 when he helped boost the #21 Wood Brothers Ford F-150  from a 25th position in the points standings up to 11th, in the last half of the season.

Keven is looking forward to working with Jon and absorbing all of the input his first cousin can give him. Keven said, "I'm excited about getting in the race truck and working with him.  I'm going to listen to everything he tells me and hopefully, I'll get out on the track and do it."

The Wood Brothers Racing team is using this test to give Keven the much needed seat time to prepare for his first race at Mansfield Motorsports Park on May 24th. They are also using it to perfect the #21 race truck for Jon,so he can bring home a top place finish at Martinsville Speedway on March 29th.
