New
Smyrna Beach , Florida
– Teen dirt late
model pilot Dillon Wood of New Smyrna Beach, Florida
will return to racing action this weekend at Golden
Isles Speedway in Waynesville, GA. Wood will join
fellow Floridian OSAS points chasers Ivedent Lloyd and
Jason Fitzgerald for the $3000 to win United Dirt Late
Model Challenge Series event set for Saturday night,
June 28th .
Wood
will return to the track after taking some time off.
The rested and rejuvenated youngster is ready to
buckle in and go racing after the break for some
family vacation time. "We took a trip up to the
mountains for a little vacation. I had planned on
being back for the Lucas Oil events over in the
Carolinas but we ended up staying a few days longer
than expected. But we are ready to get back at it this
week." Wood said.
The
United Dirt Late Model Challenge mandates either an
all cast iron or GM Crate engine for their events.
Wood picked up a fresh Koury power plant from friend
and fellow racer Shane Williams in order to
participate in this weekend's event. Wood will
continue to utilize his Rocket Chassis shod with
Hoosier Racing Tires. Wood will also carry the same
design and colors as the super late model that he
regularly campaigns on the O'Reilly Southern All Stars
Racing Series Tour.
"This
is a chance for us to race locally and build up a
little money to travel on when the Southern All Stars
hit the road again in mid-July. And Golden Isles is
really one of my favorite race tracks to race on. Our
car has been pretty good there the few times we have
been there this year. It will be a little bit
different set-up because of the heavier front weight
but my dad and Alex will have us dialed in no time I
am sure." Wood commented.
Dillon
and the Dillon
Wood Racing Team would like to thank their sponsors
