When Glen and Leonard Wood began their NASCAR odyssey in 1953 with two races in which Glen drove, it's unlikely they had any idea their fledgling team would remain intact for 57 years.

But it has. And it has gained more than its share of glory.

Throughout the 1960s and '70s, the Woods had one of the most successful stock car racing teams in history.

With drivers such as Marvin Panch, Cale Yarborough, Donnie Allison, A.J. Foyt and David Pearson, the Wood name became synonymous with victory and innovation.

The team never bothered to compete for a championship. Instead it ran only the superspeedways with a few exceptions.

It was acknowledged as the best on the big tracks. For example, Pearson won 11 of 18 races in 1973, seven of 19 in 1974 and 10 of 22 in 1976.
