Jon Wood Wins First at Kansas


Jon Wood rolled to his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory in his 48th start despite surrendering his third starting position to a pre-qualifying engine change. Wood, driving the No. 50 Bob Graham For President Ford, led 67 of the 250.5 mile race's 167 laps, taking over for good on the 140th circuit when Brendan Gaughan dove down pit road for a green flag fuel stop. Wood then held off Roush Racing partner Carl Edwards to win by 1.176 seconds at an average speed of 114.253 MPH. He won $49,050. The victory was the 29th in series competition by a Roush truck - breaking a most races won mark shared with Ultra Motorsports. The team's last win, by Greg Biffle, came on Oct. 26, 2001 at Phoenix International Raceway. John Monsam, the winning crew chief (and at Kansas Speedway in 2002 with Mike Bliss) set a series record by winning with his fifth different driver. Dennis Setzer finished third in the ACXIOM/Computer Associates Chevrolet, slipping past Travis Kvapil's IWX Motor Freight Chevrolet with six laps to go. Robert Pressley took sixth in the Harris Trucking Dodge. Kvapil - driving last year's championship truck - took the series points lead for the first time by a 1,529 to 1,523 margin over Gaughan, who finished ninth. There were 12 lead changes among eight drivers. Eight cautions consumed 34 laps - both highs for the series at Kansas Speedway.
