Racing career

Wood competed part-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2019 and again in 2020 when the series became the ARCA Menards Series West after NASCAR's merger with ARCA. Driving for his family-owned team, Velocity Racing, Wood collectively scored eight top-10's and one top 5 in those two years in his No. 78 car.

On November 2, 2020, it was announced that Wood would be joining GMS Racing in 2021 to compete full-time in the ARCA Menards Series East as well as all the Sioux Chief Showdown races in the main ARCA Menards Series, replacing 2019 and 2020 East Series champion Sam Mayer in the team's No. 21 car. This would also mean that he would also become a member of the team's driver development program, Drivers Edge Development.[1] However, these plans quietly changed, as Wood and his GMS No. 21 were entered for the first two races on the main ARCA Menards Series schedule (which they were not originally scheduled to enter), and they skipped the second race of the East Series schedule, which indicated that they would instead run full-time in the main ARCA Menards Series rather than the East Series.

On May 13, 2021, it was announced that Wood would make his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut for GMS in the team's No. 24 truck at Circuit of the Americas and would also run the next week's race at Charlotte. The opportunity came after the full-time driver of the No. 24, Raphaël Lessard, could no longer run a full season in that truck due to lack of funding.[2]

Wood and his No. 21 car ended up skipping the main ARCA Menards Series race at Toledo (he was at COTA on the same day for the Truck Series race), which meant that they no longer were attempting the full season.

On June 10, 2021, GMS announced Wood would pilot the No. 24 truck for the remainder of the 2021 season (Doug Coby drove at Bristol). He would remain with the team for the full 2022 slate.[3]

Personal life

Jack Wood is the son of Lisa and Don Wood, a prominent businessman in Loomis, California. He has a brother Samuel and a sister Megan. Megan was on the Equestrian Team at Baylor University.[4] In 2021, his parents established the Don and Lisa Wood Family Trailblazers Endowed Scholarship Fund at Baylor University.[5]
