Jon Wood Quotations

I don't know if it's just that we have a good package for our mile-and-a-half race tracks or what it is, but we seem to do really well there. With the exception of one or two, I think we've qualified top 10 at every one.

I don't know if that is quite the same. Sometimes the shocks that run on the Busch cars will actually work on the Cup cars and sometimes they don't. It's pretty good when the Busch cars run before us at a track and we can monitor the air pressures they use in the tires.

I think I was most well-known last year for being the guy that had the least clue of what was going on. So to come back here and have a winning, contending car is an awesome feeling.

I have a couple of gravel marks in my helmet.

It's great to see Kenny's level of desire and determination. I expect to learn a lot from him. Some of the veteran drivers are not the best mentors because in this sport everybody is looking out for himself. But I can trust Kenny and I know he'll be a great mentor. They say you're only as good as the company you keep, and in racing there's no better company than Ken Schrader.

I am thankful for the opportunity my dad (team co-owner Eddie Wood) and the Wood Brothers team has given me,

Not really. Jon has never asked me for anything and if he hasn't asked me I don't want to go and stick my nose in his business. He has done a pretty good job on his own. The Busch cars drive a little different, and I'm sure he's got guys on the Busch side that he talks to.
