Wood Brothers miss first race since 2000:

When Ken Schrader failed to qualify for Sunday’s race, it knocked the Wood Brothers famed #21 Ford out of the show. It’s the first time since the 2000 race here [Elliott Sadler was the driver] that the car will not be racing. It ain’t about one race, it’s about the eight before this one, said Fatback McSwain, race director for the Wood Brother. And we ran like crap in those races to get us in this position. The #21 is outside the top 35 points and not assured a spot in the field. We’ve dodged bullets the last three weeks, but sooner or later, one of them is going to hit you, car owner Eddie Wood said. We threw everything we had at it, but it just wasn’t enough.(Anniston Star)(4-29-2007)
