I am thankful for the opportunity my dad (team co-owner Eddie Wood) and the Wood Brothers team has given me,
It`s great to see Kenny`s level of desire and determination. I expect to learn a lot from him. Some of the veteran drivers are not the best mentors because in this sport everybody is looking out for himself. But I can trust Kenny and I know he`ll be a great mentor. They say you`re only as good as the company you keep, and in racing there`s no better company than Ken Schrader.
I don`t know if that is quite the same. Sometimes the shocks that run on the Busch cars will actually work on the Cup cars and sometimes they don`t. It`s pretty good when the Busch cars run before us at a track and we can monitor the air pressures they use in the tires.
I have a couple of gravel marks in my helmet.
I think I was most well-known last year for being the guy that had the least clue of what was going on. So to come back here and have a winning, contending car is an awesome feeling.
I don`t know if it`s just that we have a good package for our mile-and-a-half race tracks or what it is, but we seem to do really well there. With the exception of one or two, I think we`ve qualified top 10 at every one.
Not really. Jon has never asked me for anything and if he hasn`t asked me I don`t want to go and stick my nose in his business. He has done a pretty good job on his own. The Busch cars drive a little different, and I`m sure he`s got guys on the Busch side that he talks to.
