Wood Bothers add a race

Wood Bothers add a race: While the NASCAR Sprint Cup series began the second half of its 36-race season Saturday night, the race marked the sixth event of the season for the Wood Brothers and the #21 Ford Bill that Elliott drives. The team scaled back to a partial schedule this season because it was unable to find enough sponsorship to run the entire year. This marks the first time since 1984 the team hasn't attempted to run a full Cup schedule. Eddie Wood, co-owner of the team, said that the team has added one race -- the Charlotte fall race -- giving it 13 for the year [plus the team ran the Sprint Showdown]. The team's next race is Indianapolis in two weeks, and then the team will skip two races before returning to Michigan in mid-August. "It's really working out for us,'' Wood said. "Just like everybody else in here, we send out [sponsorship] proposals everyday. Literally. If something turns up to where we get another chunk of money, we'll add races accordingly. But we won't run races if we don't have the money to support it and do it correctly.''(Roanoke Times)(7-14-2009)

Great! I'm hoping they can go for even more races next season.

well that's good news

I'm glad that they are only racing when they have the money and not just doing the start and park deal. Would be great to see a sponsor come in so they could run the full season next year.

Yeah, they've done a good job this year as far as decent finishes go.
