Jack Wood Quote:
“It has been a rough start to the season to say the least, but this No. 91 team is so tough, and they never give up. We have battled a lot of adversity so far, but we never fail to unload with a really fast No. 91 Chevrolet. Super pumped to have Motion industries on board with us this weekend and I hope we can show them a good time with a solid finish at Bristol.”
