Next year I believe Jon Wood will be in the 21 car.

I'd like to see Jon in the #21 car, perhaps he'll do double duty Busch & Cup, but I think they'd like to see him in Busch for another year to get a little more experience first.

Wood's & ST Motorsports are talking about a 6 car team,(2 trucks, 2 Busch and 2 Cup cars (if they can get sponsorship for the 2'nd.)

It would be awesome if they can fit Kenny Shrader in this scenario as well.

I guess I will have to go with Jimmy Johnson

Just had to add that back in 1990 Dale Jarrett had the #21 Wood's Brothers

They're a well respected team, and have had a lot of good drivers over the years. My favourite was David Pearson.

Yah, they sure were! That's when you could go to the dealership and buy a car pretty mush the same as the ones racing around the track! I remember as a young teen, the Dodge/Chrysler dealership on Brant Street in Burlington had a brand new Dodge Daytona for sale sitting right in the front of their lot.

Here's a little article I've found you might enjoy and probably remember the famous race talked about.

Racewoman mentioned Dale Jarrett running for the Wood Brother's, I beleive he won his first race with then in Michigan. The Wood Brother's is NASCAR's oldest team that is still competing.

Here's a few website's I've found on the Wood Brother's history, if anyone's interested. Len Wood started racing in NASCAR in 1953. Grandson Jon, who's in Busch will probably take the drivers seat of the #21 in 2007. If you ever go to Martinsville, you have to drop off in Stuart Va and see the Wood Brother's Museum.
