These campgrounds activations will be part of an ongoing campaign throughout most of the 2022 race season. – GE Quote: “I’m excited to get to Las Vegas and see where we stack up as an organization. Everyone at GMS Racing and Chevrolet has put a lot of effort into our intermediate program, and Vegas will be the first time to really judge where we are at and what adjustments we need to make. This is a track that I like to race on, and with the cool temperatures that we will have, we will be in a tight pack with a lot of throttle time. I look at this weekend as a great opportunity to get our season started off strong.”

  • Chassis History/Info: Jack Wood will drive GMS Racing chassis no. 335 in Sin City. This chassis was built in 2021 and raced by drivers Sheldon Creed and Tyler Ankrum last season, posting a best finish of third place at Pocono with Creed.
  • Returning To Las Vegas: This weekend’s Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will mark the first time that Jack Wood will be returning to a track with prior NASCAR Camping World Truck Series experience. In September 2021, Wood competed at LVMS for the first time, and the West Coast kid looks to use that prior track time to his advantage along with the addition of practice and qualifying sessions held before the 134-lap race. – Fan Facing Appearances: Race fans will have the opportunity to meet Jack Wood at the Trackside Live stage in the fan midway from 4:00 PM to 4:15 PM local time prior to the race on Friday. Jack will also be signing autographs for fans after the Q&A session.
  • JW Quote: “Honestly, I have pretty high hopes for Vegas. We were fast last year when we unloaded, but never were able to get the track position that we needed. Without having qualifying last year, we had to start deep in the pack, so I believe having the opportunity to practice and qualify this time around will be a huge help. It will be the first intermediate that we race at this year, so this should be a good indicator of where our team’s overall package ranks for the bulk of the season. I think that intermediate racing is something that I have taken pretty well to over the past six or so months, and Vegas is one of those tracks that I am most looking forward to racing at because I have past experience heading into the weekend.”
