Jon Wood now feels Wood Brothers Racing is "mine" in his role as the NASCAR team's president

Jon Wood has always felt a connection and had pride in Wood Brothers Racing since its family. However, he did so at arm's length, viewing it as something that was more of "their" team when it came to his other family members. But since Wood took over as team president two months ago, he's experienced a different kind of feeling of how much the race team means to him.

Penske has the final say in who drives the 21. Fact.

[@karlweezer9575]

I agree with his comments that you take more pride and give something more attention when it's actually something you own or something that is yours hope to see this team do better next year with whoever their driver is

[@stevemcentee2880]

HOPEFULLY, Josh Berry or even Noah Gragson will fill that seat next year. They can both win.The Wood Brothers need something better than what they are getting from Burton.

Hoping to see Josh Berry and Rodney Childers join the Woods team.

I am praying for that. Been a Wood Brothers fan since I knew what NASCAR was.

Harrison Burton is a good drier he was just brought up to quick into cup . I hope this dosent effect Harrison's future career and i hope to see him back in cup one day

[@jamesfriss4149]

Even with a driver change the 21 car needs more and a better crew chief

[@SGNbuff]

As an outsider, Wood Brothers Racing is a team in name only. Penske calls all the shots and supplies the personnel.

[@israelmathes6268]

I hoep he seeks advice from Great Uncle Leonard.

[@smarleyjoe3569]

Will get this 21 back up front where it belongs or get someone else to.

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Please Jon, get out from under the Penske umbrella. Align the team with RFK or another Ford team. It's pretty clear the #21 car has been the test tube baby at Penske for a while. This is coming from a long time Wood Brother's and Ford fan

[@shawndavid6684]

At least be as good or as intelligent as Leonard Wood, if you can imulate Leonard, you will reach the same goal and earned the legacy.
