Two legendary NASCAR family names have a riveting discussion as Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes Jon Wood, President of Wood Brothers Racing, to the Download. The two go over Jon’s entertaining social media posts over the years, his vision to propel the Wood Brothers' heritage forward, why he stepped away from racing as a driver, and much more.  

Jon’s earliest memories in racing and getting his first go-kart from NASCAR legend Dale Jarrett. From karts, Jon moved into late models before making the jump to the regional NASCAR stock car series and Trucks. Jon explains he likely didn’t take his racing career as seriously as he should have, and a loss of sponsors caused the team to work with veteran drivers to take over.

After stepping out of the driver’s seat, Jon moved into a managerial position with the family team. At the time, the family team was struggling and needed redirection. Eventually, Jon would take over as President, helping to lead the team into a new era. To this day, Wood Brothers Racing continues to be a family enterprise, celebrating over 75 years in stock car racing. Dale and Jon also discuss some current NASCAR topics, such as charter ownership, the 23XI/FRM lawsuit, the Wood Brothers’ recent 100th victory, and social media presence.
