  • Returning To Las Vegas: This weekend’s Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will mark the first time that Jack Wood will be returning to a track with prior NASCAR Camping World Truck Series experience. In September 2021, Wood competed at LVMS for the first time, and the West Coast kid looks to use that prior track time to his advantage along with the addition of practice and qualifying sessions held before the 134-lap race. –

  • JW Quote: “Honestly, I have pretty high hopes for Vegas. We were fast last year when we unloaded, but never were able to get the track position that we needed. Without having qualifying last year, we had to start deep in the pack, so I believe having the opportunity to practice and qualify this time around will be a huge help. It will be the first intermediate that we race at this year, so this should be a good indicator of where our team’s overall package ranks for the bulk of the season. I think that intermediate racing is something that I have taken pretty well to over the past six or so months, and Vegas is one of those tracks that I am most looking forward to racing at because I have past experience heading into the weekend.”
