Jackson Ryan Wood (born August 7, 2000) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 28 Chevrolet SS for Pinnacle Racing Group. He has also previously competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the ARCA Menards Series East, and the ARCA Menards Series West.

Racing career

ARCA

Wood competed part-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2019 and again in 2020 when the series became the ARCA Menards Series West after NASCAR's merger with ARCA. Driving for his family-owned team, Velocity Racing, Wood collectively scored eight top-tens and one top-five in those two years in his No. 78 car.

On November 2, 2020, it was announced that Wood would join GMS Racing in 2021 to compete full-time in the ARCA Menards Series East as well as all the Sioux Chief Showdown races in the main ARCA Menards Series, replacing 2019 and 2020 East Series champion Sam Mayer in the team's No. 21 car. This would also mean that he would become a member of the team's driver development program, Drivers Edge Development.[1] However, these plans quietly changed, as Wood and his GMS No. 21 were entered for the first two races on the main ARCA Menards Series schedule (which they were not originally scheduled to enter), and they skipped the second race of the East Series schedule, which indicated that they would instead run full-time in the main ARCA Menards Series rather than the East Series. Wood and his No. 21 car ended up skipping the main ARCA Menards Series race at Toledo (he was at COTA on the same day for the Truck Series race), which meant that they no longer were attempting the full season.

In 2023, Wood drove part-time in the No. 6 car for Rev Racing in the main ARCA Menards Series[2], the East Series, and the West Series.[3] In the main ARCA Series/East Series combination race at Bristol, Wood drove a third car for the team, the No. 51 (his Truck Series number with KBM), as Lavar Scott, who drove full-time for Rev in the East Series that year, was driving the No. 6 car.[4] Wood also drove the No. 28 car for Pinnacle Racing Group in the West Series season finale at Phoenix.[5]

On December 6, 2023, it was announced Wood would drive full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West in the No. 16 Chevy for Bill McAnally Racing.[6]

On July 7, 2025, it was announced that Wood would drive the No. 16 at Sonoma for McAnally.[7]

On December 17, 2025, it was announced that Wood would drive the No. 28 part-time for Pinnacle Racing Group, sharing the ride with anchor driver Carson Brown and former McAnally–Hilgemann Racing Truck Series teammate Connor Mosack.[8]

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

On May 13, 2021, it was announced that Wood would make his NASCAR Truck Series debut for GMS in the team's No. 24 truck at Circuit of the Americas and would also run the next week's race at Charlotte. The opportunity came after the full-time driver of the No. 24, Raphaël Lessard, could no longer run a full season in that truck due to a lack of funding.[9]

On June 10, 2021, GMS announced Wood would pilot the No. 24 truck for the remainder of the 2021 season (although the team would announce priorly that Chase Elliott would drive the No. 24 for Texas[10] and GMS would replace Wood with Doug Coby at Bristol).[11] He remained with the team in the No. 24 for the full Truck Series season in 2022.[12]

On November 4, 2023, it was announced that Wood would drive part-time, being the anchor driver, in the No. 51 truck for Kyle Busch Motorsports featuring the team's first year with Chevrolet.[13] He would end up sharing the ride with team owner Kyle Busch, William Byron, and Matt Mills.

On December 6, 2023, it was announced Wood would drive part-time for MHR in the Craftsman Truck Series in the No. 91 for the 2024 season.[6] He would anchor the No. 91 while sharing the ride with Zane Smith, Vicente Salas, Connor Hall, Corey Day, and Ryan Reed.

On December 17, 2024, it was announced that Wood would drive the No. 91 full-time in 2025 for MHR.[14] Wood started the season with a 24th-place finish at Daytona. He would suffer an injury during the Watkins Glen race and he would therefore miss the race at Richmond, having his team withdraw the No. 91 for the weekend.[15] After two top tens in the 2025 season, which came at Rockingham and at Phoenix, it was announced on November 20, 2025, that Wood would not return to the No. 91 and he would be replaced by Christian Eckes for the 2026 season.[16]

Personal life

Wood is the son of Lisa and Don Wood, a prominent businessman in Loomis, California. He has a brother, Samuel, and a sister, Megan. Megan was on the Equestrian Team at Baylor University.[17] In 2021, his parents established the Don and Lisa Wood Family Trailblazers Endowed Scholarship Fund at Baylor University.[18]
