The Wood Brothers’ part-time Sprint Cup schedule is looking more
like a full-time effort these days, with racing in each of the first three
weeks of October.
Trevor Bayne and the No. 21 Ford Fusion start fourth this
afternoon at Talladega Superspeedway, flying the pink and purple colors of the
Ford Warriors in Pink. Next weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, they will
carry the blue, yellow, and red colors of Good Sam and Camping World, and the
following week at Kansas Speedway, the Woods’ No.. 21 Ford will sport the
traditional red, white, and gold colors of Motorcraft and Quick Lane Tire and
Auto Centers.
In addition to October’s three races, Bayne and the Woods plan
to test the 2013 Ford Fusion in a pre-race test sessions at Kansas Speedway.
Team co-owner Eddie Wood said he’s pleased that the team has
been able to expand its schedule from an expected 12 races at the start of the
season, to 16 points-paying events and the NASCAR Sprint All-Star race at
Charlotte.
“Getting to run three races in a row puts us back in the mode of
running full time, like we did in the past,” he said, adding that testing the new,
2013 Ford Fusion at Kansas will help the team gather information for next
season and give Bayne additional laps and seat time on the newly repaved race
track. He has never run a NASCAR Sprint Series Cup there before.
“It’ll be a really busy weekend,” Wood said.
