Jack Wood is excited about getting the opportunity to make a full-time return to the ARCA West series and continuing to compete in NASCAR’s Truck Series. In a team release, the Loomis-California native has expressed how he felt about working with Bill McAnally Racing, as well as sister team McAnally-Hilgemann Racing in 2024.

“The opportunity to race for a championship with BMR and NAPA Auto Care is definitely exciting. It’s a great chance to reestablish myself in the West series, focus on racing for a title and continuing to compete on the Truck side also. Having Kevin (Bellicourt) with me in both series is going to be a huge help to build consistency and I’m looking forward to balancing both programs next season.”

Jack Wood has made a total of 46 starts in NASCAR Truck Series, including 13 races at Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2023. He finished the 2023 season with two top-10 finishes and scored his career best finish of ninth place at Texas Motor Speedway.

“Having Jack join our Truck Series program is a big addition, and I’m excited to see him compete for a championship in the NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet out west. We want to get back to victory lane in the ARCA West Series and Jack will give us a great chance to chase our 12th championship. He never got to compete for a regional title, and I think the opportunity for him to do that will help him gain confidence and experience. It will also help grow the No. 91 team with Kevin (Bellicourt) into a contender in the Truck Series.”
