Founder - Glen Wood
Glen Wood founded Wood Brothers Racing in 1950 under a beech tree on his family’s homeplace in Buffalo Ridge, Virginia. He held an astonishing record as a driver and team owner. In 2012, Glen was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame as a driver and team owner. Having built a stable and highly respected race team, he spent much of his later years semi-retired and the day-to-day management of his race team was turned over to his children. He split much of his time between entertaining visitors with his wife Bernece at the Museum in Stuart and gardening. In January of 2019, he passed away at age 93, leaving an immeasurable mark in the NASCAR community and a legacy that will never be matched.
