- Chassis History/Info: Jack Wood will race GMS Racing chassis no. 140 on Saturday at Sonoma Raceway.

- Hometown Hero: Growing up in nearby Loomis, California, Jack Wood will get to visit his home track of Sonoma Raceway in front of a large local crowd of friends and family. As a kid, Wood attended countless races at the 1.99-mile road course before starting his career as a professional NASCAR driver. With the series returning to the facility for the first time since 2000, this weekend marks one of the industry’s highest anticipated stops on the calendar, but it is especially near and dear to the twenty-one-year-old.
- Sunoco ROTY Update: Wood and the No. 24 team earned a 19th place finish in the series’ most recent outing at World Wide Technology Raceway, dropping down one spot in the Sunoco Rookie Of The Year standings. Looking ahead to Sonoma, Jack is 31 points behind leader Corey Heim, and 15 points behind Lawless Alan in second.
- JW Quote: “I can’t wait to go to my home track this week in Northern California. I grew up only about an hour away from Sonoma, and there has been a lot of time and effort put in behind the scenes for this race. I think we are going to have a good chance at producing a solid run. I’m so excited to have Cooks Collision on our No. 24 Chevy this week, we will have a bunch of former employees that worked for the company over the past 40 years, so it will be great to celebrate and commemorate all of the memories from over the years.”
