Jon Wood will attempt make his first start of the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup season for Wood Brothers Racing in Sunday's Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Wood, the son of team co-owner Eddie Wood, was chosen to drive this race because of his experience on superspeedways in the Nationwide Series and Craftsman Truck Series.
The regular driver of the No. 21 Ford, Bill Elliott, is running only select events for the Wood Brothers this season, and Talladega was not one of those races.
“With Jon’s experience level on superspeedways in other series, I’m very comfortable with him getting in the car this weekend," crew chief Mike Smith said.
Wood, who is also the primary driver of the Wood Brothers' No. 21 Craftsman Truck Series entry, will be dividing time this weekend between Talladega and Kansas Speedway, site of Saturday's truck race.
The truck team may use an alternate driver to practice, qualify and race in Kansas should scheduling not allow Wood to pull double duty.
