Run It Back … Jack Wood, driver of the No. 91 Adaptive One Calipers Chevrolet Silverado RST, returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway after a lap-57 incident at this event last season collected the driver of the No. 91 and ended his day early in Turn 4. Wood had the speed as he put down a hot lap in qualifying to set himself to start the event fourth in line. The young driver is looking to come off with that same speed but end with a different result in mind, Victory Lane.

Atlanta History … Wood is still fresh to the 1.5-mile quad-oval in Hampton, GA as this will only be his fourth career start there. Within those three NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) starts at Atlanta, the Loomis, Calif. native has a best finish of 10th back in 2023 and a best qualifying effort of fourth, last season.

Guess Who’s Back … Adaptive One Calipers (ADO) will be returning this weekend to ride along side the No. 91 Chevrolet Silverado RST as primary partner with the 24-year-old driver. This will be ADO’s first NCTS appearance at Atlanta in hopes to get the the bold colors of red, gold and black to the winner’s circle.

Jack Wood Quote:

“Coming off of a stinger last weekend at Daytona, I have high confidence that this No. 91 Adaptive One Calipers team will unload a pretty solid truck for us to have a good day at Atlanta, Saturday. With the new track configuration, Atlanta races a lot like a super speedway and comparing to last week, we had a super fast truck just got caught up in the unfortunate turns of Daytona. It is a really fun track so I am definitely ready to get there and turn some laps.”
