To commemorate 75 years worth of memories, the Wood Brothers Racing team will be celebrated throughout the summer with “Wood Brothers Wednesdays” on The NASCAR Channel.
Wood Brothers Racing has been around since 1950, when Glen and Leonard Wood teamed up to pioneer a legacy that has transcended time.
Glen was behind the wheel of their car at Bowman Gray Stadium in 1960 and took the Wood Brothers Racing team to Victory Lane for the first time. The team scored its 101st NASCAR Cup Series victory in 2025, when Josh Berry claimed the checkered flag at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Bookending those victories were triumphs everywhere from Daytona to Darlington to Rockingham and everywhere in between. Twenty of NASCAR‘s 75 Greatest Drivers have piloted a car for the team throughout their storied history, one that is well worth celebrating.
This Wednesday‘s content theme will be Indianapolis and pit stops.
The organization provided the pit crew for Jim Clark and his No. 82 Ford in the 1965 Indianapolis 500 and captured the victory in the historic event. The Wood Brothers team, which was literally comprised of four Wood brothers, teamed up with two other crew members to pit not only Clark, but Bobby Johns in the event as well.
Glen, Leonard, Ray Lee and Delano were brought in to help the team get to the next level and contend for the Indianapolis 500 victory, and they did just that. Clark dominated the event, leading 190 of the 200 total laps.
The NASCAR Cup Series, including the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford piloted by Josh Berry, will race this weekend at Indianapolis.
Meanwhile, the Cup Series‘ race from Darlington earlier this season will also air. It’s a race which saw Berry use a throwback scheme in honor of the car Clark raced at Indianapolis in 1965.
One piece of original content is also on the schedule, titled “Pit Stops with Leonard Wood.” Wood sits down with former Wood Brothers Racing crew member Ryan Flores to talk about pit stops through the eras.
The Wood Brothers team finished 10th in the first two Brickyard 400s in 1994 and 1995, with Morgan Shepherd behind the wheel both times. They also have top-10 finishes in 2018 and 2019, thanks to Paul Menard, who qualified second in 2019.
