To celebrate 75 years worth of memories, the legendary 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 in 1960 at Bowman Gray Stadium 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 its storied history, one that is well worth celebrating.

The theme for this week‘s content will focus on former Wood Brothers Racing driver Kyle Petty.
“Memory Lane — The Wedding,” a piece of NASCAR original content, will air on Wednesday. Leonard Wood and Petty talk about the day the Pettys and the Woods “got married,” a.k.a. teamed up together for the first time.
Petty won two races during his time racing for the Wood Brothers family, and both races will be streamed in full on Wednesday.
His first career NASCAR Cup Series victory came in the 1986 Miller High Life 400 at Richmond Raceway, which is also the site of this weekend‘s NASCAR Cup Series event.
Petty was also victorious in the 1987 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was Petty‘s only victory in the famed No. 21 car for the team, as he took the No. 7 to Victory Lane in 1986 at Richmond.
