Drugs may have caused Wood’s headaches

A bad reaction to Attention Deficit Disorder medication may be the cause for headaches Busch Series driver Jon Wood suffered this weekend at the Dover International Speedway, forcing him to give up his ride to another driver for Saturday's race.

Furthermore, the driver's apparent and ongoing ADD is a misdiagnosis, according to a statement from his father Eddie Wood, co-owner of Wood Brothers/JTG Racing.

"Jon Wood got out his car on Friday following Busch Series practice by his own choice due to headaches and not feeling well," Eddie Wood said in the statement issued Sunday. "He is presently being evaluated by doctors for these symptoms. It is believed at this time that he has been misdiagnosed with ADD and is experiencing adverse reactions to the prescribed medications."

Jon Wood, 25, was not at the track Sunday, but crew chief Scott Zipadelli said the driver was resting at home and will return to the Busch car when he is well.

"When Jon feels 100 percent, he's on top of his game and we are consulting with physicians to determine when that will be," said Zipadelli, who will fill in for crew chief Michael "Fatback" McSwain on the Wood Brothers' No. 21 Ford for Bill Elliott in Monday's rain-delayed Cup Series race.
