McAnally-Hilgemann Racing Withdraws Jack Wood From Richmond Truck Race

The team said it is sidelining Wood after his heavy Watkins Glen crash as a precaution; further updates on his medical status will be announced later.

Overview

  • McAnally-Hilgemann Racing opted to withdraw the No. 91 entry for Friday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Richmond rather than name a substitute driver.
  • Wood’s Richmond absence was declared after a hard impact against the guardrail in the esses at Watkins Glen left him evaluated at the infield care center.
  • The team has not disclosed the nature of Wood’s injuries and has not set a timetable for his return to competition.
  • With no replacement named for Wood, the Richmond field is capped at 36 starters, eliminating the threat of non-qualifiers.
  • Wood sits 19th in the Truck Series standings with one top-10 finish in 17 starts, and his withdrawal alters MHR’s planned five-truck lineup that included an extra entry for Christian Eckes.
