Jack Wood

This truck was split between Busch, Corey Heim and a couple other drivers last season. As always, when Busch is behind the wheel this team is a threat to win and crack the Top 5. However, that was just five starts last season. All drivers combined, this team netted two victories and 15 Top-10 finishes. We expect a bit of a pullback in terms of performance this season. Wood will get most of the starts and he's a bit of a "project driver" at this point in his career. This is a team to keep an eye peeled for when Busch is on the entry list, but it could be an up-and-down affair the rest of the season.

The 21-year-old prospect has been brought in to take over the GMS Racing No. 24 entry full-time in 2022. This is the truck that Wood shared with a number of different drivers last season. The collective earned two Top-5 and four Top-10 finishes last season. Wood nabbed one of those Top 10's with a strong 10th-place finish at Gateway. Chad Walter returns at crew chief, and the two will look to continue building chemistry together. This team has a high ceiling in terms of capabilities, but they need Wood to learn and mature in order to realize their potential. 2022 could be a breakthrough season for Wood or just more learning the ropes if things don't get off to a good start.
