Dale Wood (born 9 June, 1983) is an Australian racing driver who drives for Erebus Motorsport in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. He currently resides in Melbourne, Victoria. He commenced his full-time V8 Supercar career in 2009 with the newly formed team Kelly Racing team, having raced previously for the Tasman Motorsport aligned Greg Murphy Racing Fujitsu series squad. Wood was replaced after the Hidden Valley round although he returned to the team for the endurance race season, pairing up with Jack Perkins. He returned to the team a year later, again in an endurance race role.
Wood competed in the Fujitsu Development Series for Greg Murphy Racing in 2007 and 2008.
Wood was confirmed as the driver of the #16 Kelly Racing entry for 2009, with sponsorship from Hi-Tec Oils and Red Rooster. This car will use one of the licences owned by Kelly Racing team mate, Jack Perkins' father, Larry Perkins. Wood's #16 car for 2009 is the car previously run by Jack Perkins at Perkins Engineering in 2008, chassis number PE046. Oscar Fiorinotto has been named as Dale's engineer for the 2009 season.
Wood's first track appearance in his Kelly Racing Commodore was at the V8 Supercars Official Category Test Day, at Winton Raceway on 9 March 2009, where he was joined by the other three Kelly Racing entries, and all other Victorian-based V8 Supercar teams. At the test day, with the sponsorship of the car still to be confirmed, it ran in an interim testing livery, thanking the team for getting all four cars ready for the season in two months.
