Wood Brothers Racing co-founder on quest to bring Henry Ford's first racer down to size at his Stuart, Va., shop.
and one of the best crew chiefs and mechanics in the history of the sport, remains a strong link in the fabric of Wood Brothers Racing, one of NASCAR’s bedrock teams. Although he gave up pit-road duties many years ago, Wood still wears the red and blue colors of the No. 21 team and works Monday through Friday in his shop at the Wood Brothers primary location in Stuart, Virginia.
Sweepstakes is a critical part of the history of the Blue Oval. Henry Ford led design and building of the car in 1901 and won a 10-mile race against Alexander Winton in the 96-inch-wheelbase car with a two-speed manual transmission. The good will and publicity from the race success encouraged investors to join Ford in his car-manufacturing business.
Bennie Belcher, a long-time machinist at the Woods’ shop, cut the base metal pieces for the car parts, giving Wood more time for the finer detail work.
