He might be the most unlucky driver I've seen. But it's on him being in the wrong place all the time. I remember thinking, even when he hangs back he gets caught up in other people's incidents. Is a really good guy, wish things went better.
I only remember him as the guy who shared his ride with an aging Bill Elliott & Ken Schrader in 2007, but I’ve heard since then that he’s a really nice guy. I’m glad to see he’s keeping his family team, let alone the oldest in the Cup Series, alive today.
@@johnhaas2523 as long as the team is still going, and as long as Roger Penske has interest in helping it stay afloat, I don’t care if it’s just a name. I’m just happy to see it still on the track, and I’m happy that Jon has found a way to still be useful, even if it isn’t in a race car.
I liked Jon, he was really a magnet for other cars running in to him in your montage. Just a random fact about him, as a rookie in truck series he actually signed up for and posted on the Roush Racing message board to talk to fans. I think someone in PR figured that out within 2 weeks and told him to stop. Bob Ghram was a Florida senator who decided to run for president (side side note he was a democrat) and had the idea to sponsor a race car with some campaign funds. Thus Jon get a sponsor for his truck as shown, and a couple wins. Bob Ghram's run for president didn't go very far and it's entirely possible that truck series win could be considered it's high point.
You gotta feel bad for Jon when you see that, at least in the montage you have here, most of his wrecks weren't his fault and just a lot of bad luck and wrong place at the wrong time moments.
I was a Jon Wood Fan from 2005-2008. I had high hopes for him, especially after that 2nd place at Talladega. Those crashes and some off track issues is what did his driving career in.
Keeping the car clean is a reason that some guys are busts, or at least flame out of the sport, but I don’t know if it applies to Jon Wood necessarily.
I've been waiting on this video for a long time.... Fun Fact: not a lot of people remember this, but Jon Wood won the last Craftsman Truck Series race at Pikes Peak in 2002....
@@nascarsteve I don't know if I would go that harsh but a full-season suspension would definitely be something I would go for. It did not to mention he didn't do anything good with Roush its funny to think that if Jack was not picky about who was Jeff Gordon's Crew Chief he could have put him in that 16 car instead of LePage and actually won some races.
@@nascarsteve I mean imagine keeping Jeff and Ray together and putting them on the 16 instead of years of mediocrity from LePage. Plus Mark Martin would've had a competent teammate and might've actually won a championship too.
@@nascarstevehonestly the only thing dumber than the wreck itself was the fact that he was trying to get out of taking responsibility for a wreck that he obviously caused.
I was watching a bgn race from 96, lepage was getting lapped by chad little and lepage totally just wiped him out lol he was a liability for over a decade before dega 😆
I grew up with Jon, grades k-12 . We were in the same basketball and football teams from 4-7th.grades and graduated with him. We grew up about 2 miles from each other...also, he never talked about racing at school..humble guy.
I met Jon at a truck race in Memphis and he was super nice, probably one of the nicest drivers I ever met maybe because it was his first season. But looking at his career he may have perhaps been too nice to make it as a driver and have that presence in a team that the ones that do make it have.
I always thought about the late Ricky Hendrick heading the similar path of running a nascar team that his dad founded after his racing career fizzled out. Jon Wood will be the case after his racing career fizzled out. Jon will be running his family's team as long as Nascar is here.
Yeah, JTG/WBR equipment was really just top-15 barely top-10 equipment between 06 and 08. Which I mean isn't bad when you're going against JGR, Penske, Roush, Hendrick, KHI, RCR and Braun, but as far as Busch/Nationwide and Cup were concerned, he came in at the worst time for the series in the former and the worst time for the team in the latter.
I remember Jon Wood drive for few of different numbers of different cars, lots of crash, Oh, I did not know that He retired, But He looks good, I wonder that he still working for the Woods or not ?? That's all I asking, and Good/ crash/ races video
Really hoping Harrison Burton gives them Cup win #100 sometime soon. Jon Wood may be a bust, but Jack Wood is proving he is certainly not a bust so far. Jack still has a long way to go though.
With all of those highlights it honesty looked like for every 1 incident that was his fault there were like 4 or 5 that were someone else screwing up and him just getting caught up in it. Just seemed hell’a unlucky.
I already have Gateway as May 31-June 2 for the 2024 Cup Weekend planted in my head and on my calendar. Watch what happens, NASCAR is gonna choose a completely different date for WWT😂
A lot of these clips support bad luck over pure driving. And, in all honesty, what was expected to happen in JTG equipment? Not winning a championship, that's for sure. This isn't to start or rebuttle anything, instead to pose a question of: are drivers who are considered a bust, possibly the fault of luck, organization/equipment decline, team issue, etc. Rather than a lack of talent or driving ability itself
Seems to me like he had run of bad luck as he got stuck in mediocre equipment. A few hard hits he should have taken a break after... after watching the video it just feels like there is some missing context on this one.
In most of the crashes in the Busch series he was just unlucky and caught in the middle. Good to know he`s carrying on in his family's business.
He might be the most unlucky driver I've seen. But it's on him being in the wrong place all the time. I remember thinking, even when he hangs back he gets caught up in other people's incidents. Is a really good guy, wish things went better.
Never forget that Jon Wood was included in Dirt To Daytona as an official Trucks Driver and a fictional Cup Driver
@SalisburyFox Yeah he was the #50 in the Trucks and the #121 in the Cup roster
A NASCAR Bust driver that actually admits that they’re a NASCAR bust.
And he will be running his family owned team in the future. The Wood Brothers will be here for the foreseeable future.
He seemed humble
It isn’t the only reason but he definitely was a reason for why they went part-time for almost a decade. Good to see that he’s still in racing.
Jon Wood is most memorable for his appearance on NASCAR 08 & 09
& 07
And Dirt To Daytona (I believe)
I only remember him as the guy who shared his ride with an aging Bill Elliott & Ken Schrader in 2007, but I’ve heard since then that he’s a really nice guy. I’m glad to see he’s keeping his family team, let alone the oldest in the Cup Series, alive today.

Jon Wood is a god on NASCAR 08 for the PS2.
Thought I'd say that
Dude stayed up front lol
i still remember in one of my Nascar 08 saves, the top 3 finishing driver at the Daytona 500 are : 1. Tony Raines 2. Jon Wood 3. JJ Yeley💀
@@SebrystianVettel dude won the championship with no race wins in mine
Him and Ambrose on mine
I keep forgetting that JTG Daugherty Racing had an Xfinity and Truck team...
“I’m about as lost as Jed Clampett in Beverly Hills” -Jon Wood in 2005 at the Mexico City road course. Loved that quote haha
3:04 I was today years old when I learned JTG and Wood Bros were once merged together
Literally every Cup start had him have an engine problem. Every. Single. Time.
I honestly don't believe that if you get caught up in someone's wreck, then that makes you a bust like it's completely unfair.
Keeping the car clean is a reason that some guys are busts, or at least flame out of the sport, but I don’t know if it applies to Jon Wood necessarily.
Mom wake up! There’s a new NASCAR Busts video out!!
It is nice too see he is still involved in the family business 😊
We also can't forget that he competed in the NASCAR Pro Invitational Series race at North Wilksboro in 2020.
Finished 13th in the 29 car field
@@snuffyntWhich isn’t too bad, he beat just over half the field
Nascar busts is the best content you put on this channel, Darian. Keep it up!

Fun Fact: not a lot of people remember this, but Jon Wood won the last Craftsman Truck Series race at Pikes Peak in 2002....
I totally forgot that!
He was actually a pretty good driver with extremely bad luck.
NASCAR 08 legend Jon Wood
I'm glad he's still part of the team.
Really isn't much to the team other than name anymore it's basically Penske 4th car
Please do a NASCAR bust video for Kevin LePage especially after seeing how he still blames Carl Edwards for his big wreck in Talladega.
he should have been permanently banned from NASCAR after that fiasco.

Man Jon Woods cars when he was racing though. They all looked great.
Since you did one of Jon Wood, can we get one of A.J. Foyt IV please?
That would be interesting Hes a driver no one really thinks about often
Has he done one on Larry Foyt?
Maybe as an Indycar bust but idk about nascar cuz he only made 11 Busch Series starts
Yes..... that would be the icing on the cake as well, and as an IndyCar Busts video too
@@Twinspinnerno. Maybe he could but I would kinda consider him a legacy driver cuz I don't think Foyt's team wasn't all that big.
This guy is hilarious. I’ve listened to interviews with Jon Wood on Door Bumper Clear this dude is crazy lmao.

Been waiting on this one!
I remember Jon from NASCAR Dirt to Daytona in truck series and for some reason the 121 Cup car
Omg he finally did it
There was also Jon's cousin, Keven Wood, who made nine Truck starts for WBR. Only scored one top-15.
Dude a lot of the Busch series stats seem to be due to horrid luck
Major props to Jon Wood, for having a good sense of humor and being man enough to admit that he doesn’t have the driving skills to pay the bills.
Maybe Jason Jarrett? Would you consider him a bust?
5:51 I want you to look at this! (Crash ensues) Talk about PERFECT timing
Man it just seems like he was in the wrong place at the wrong time every single time.
Great video
So he's basically NASCAR's Taki Inoue? Neat
anybody else read the title as “nascar busts: jack wood”? i mean it kind of makes sense since he does suck in top equipment.
At least Jack Wood is doing better than Connor Jones in Arca though.
He did race the last IRacing Cup event in 2020.
Speaking of a driver from a rich racing background that failed spectacularly in NASCAR, Ritchie Petty
Do one on Shawna Robinson? Ryan Holman has done one on her already. But i dont think she is cuz she never got in the best equipment but idk.
Yeah she could've done as good Erin Crocker and Johanna Long but no.
We cant forget his 13th place finish in the north wilkesboro pro invitational race
I met Jon at a truck race in Memphis and he was super nice, probably one of the nicest drivers I ever met maybe because it was his first season. But looking at his career he may have perhaps been too nice to make it as a driver and have that presence in a team that the ones that do make it have.
Highly recommend doing these two nascar busts.....
Jacques Villenueve and Patrick Carpentier
He practiced and Q 21 for Ricky Rudd Fontana 2005.
My favorite thing about Jon will always be that three digit number #116
Jon is a character. Love the Wood Bros
5:51 was unfortunate but great timing.
His ability to spin into traffic was amazing. The man rarely wrecked alone
From all of these wrecks, it reminds me a lot of Brandon Jones. Wrong place, wrong time.
Watching the clips in this video, I wouldn't call Jon Wood a bust. He just had the worst luck.
I only know of Jon Wood from Kamikaze Games nascar 05 playthroughs
I always thought about the late Ricky Hendrick heading the similar path of running a nascar team that his dad founded after his racing career fizzled out. Jon Wood will be the case after his racing career fizzled out. Jon will be running his family's team as long as Nascar is here.
Real Great Vid, thx
I like that he admits that he’s a NASCAR bust.
Can you make a Mark Martin XFINITY Series bust April Fool video?
The only reason I remember him was from NASCAR 08 and 09
This vid started like a Gone Too Soon video i was scared
Honest question I thought Penske owns some of the Wood Bros. team if so how much say does the Wood family have in the operations is it name onky?
Soon to be featured in this series: Hailie Deegan, Terrible Herbst and Harrison Burton
He was great in trucks but honestly his equipment in xfinity was mid at best.
Yeah, JTG/WBR equipment was really just top-15 barely top-10 equipment between 06 and 08.
Which I mean isn't bad when you're going against JGR, Penske, Roush, Hendrick, KHI, RCR and Braun, but as far as Busch/Nationwide and Cup were concerned, he came in at the worst time for the series in the former and the worst time for the team in the latter.
been waiting for this for a while. This guy came at me hard on twitter for disagreeing with him.
Although Jon Wood was not a bust in the Craftsman Truck Series, Jon Wood never even got a chance to head for the mountains in the Busch Series.
What bad luck !!!
I remember Jon Wood drive for few of different numbers of different cars, lots of crash, Oh, I did not know that He retired, But He looks good, I wonder that he still working for the Woods or not ?? That's all I asking, and Good/ crash/ races video
Can you make gone too soon carlos pardo
But he had my favorite truck in Dirt to Daytona, so that’s worth something
I always thought Jon Wood looked like Britney Spears for some reason lol
Man, so many of those wrecks he was in weren’t his fault. He was just a magnet for misfortune.
New idea for nascar busts: Nick Sanchez’s face.
I’ll let myself out.
Got an odd feeling Hailee Deegan will be one of these nascar bust vids.
Lance Stroll, I hope your watching, because THIS is going to be your future.
The king of getting caught up in other people's messes. Jon wasn't so much a bust as a sh*t magnet.

Great vid! Would you ever consider doing a Broadcaster Bust? The voice at 4:10 could be a good first candidate methinks.
It was Allen Bestwick and the late great Benny Parsons. Two of the greatest NASCAR commentators ever.
He certainly didn’t set the world on fire, but I noticed the vast majority of wrecks he was in weren’t caused by him. Just very bad luck
Looks like he was unlucky as hell.
He got collected in like 90% of the wrecks shown lmao

A few of these were his fault. But I forgot how awful his luck was too. If there was a wreck, it was going to happen right in front of him.
i hold a strong vendetta against jon wood because he wrecks me in nascar 08 all the time
Jon had the worst luck honestly never seemed to go right for the young man
I don't see where he's a bust in the Busch Series, the majority of the wrecks you showed were NOT his fault
inb4 comments about how awful Jack Wood is in trucks
Jack Wood is doing good in Arca though.
Never knew the Wood Brothers and JTG were partnered.
