Woodard Racing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Woodard Racing (formerly Woodard & Sharp Racing) was a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team owned by Rick Woodard and formerly Eddie Sharp. They fielded the #25 Dodge for Boston Reid and Damon Lusk with limited sponsorship from Red Rocks Cafe.

[edit] Formation

The team tapped Reid to drive in December 2005, in hopes of a full season in 2006. With support from Evernham Motorsports and the owners points from the #62 of Orleans Racing, the team hoped to contend for Rookie of the Year. However, Reid struggled early to avoid trouble. He crashed out of the first two races, but later improved and the team became solid top-20 finishers. However, co-owner Eddie Sharp gave his half in ownership to Woodard to focus on his ARCA RE/MAX Series team. Reid was released late in the season and was replaced by Damon Lusk, who also struggled. Although initial reports said that the team had shut down, Woodard downplayed these rumors, needing only a sponsor to run the full season. Considering that the team did not run a race in 2007, coupled with the closing of their website, it is assumed that Woodard has shut down the team.
