Kelly Bires will drive the No. 47 Clorox Ford in Saturday night’s A####mp;T 250. He is driving in relief of Jon Wood, who’s recovering from an adverse reaction to prescribed medication. Wood’s status at Wood Brothers/JTG Racing remains race-by-race. Bires grew up 142 miles away in Mauston, Wis. He considers The Milwaukee Mile is hometown track in NASCAR.
“Everyone at Wood Brothers/JTG Racing has worked so hard to make me feel comfortable in the Clorox Ford," Bires said. "I know it’s not easy dealing with a rookie, but they’ve been real patient and that makes my job a little easier."

Adverse reactions to ADD meds or not, Jon Wood is having neurological problems. The bright side is Bires ran in the top ten last week at Kentucky. Look out! The Wood Brothers might have something here.
Move Marcos Ambrose into the 21 and give Bires the 47. Tough luck for Jon. But #### happens.
