Glen and Leonard Wood, Wood Brothers Racing - Black and White NASCAR Photography

        I recently started a gallery on my website http://www.bestdigitalshots.com/ of black and white photographs of NASCAR drivers.  The gallery is under the NASCAR gallery at the site.  I could think of no better start than posting a picture of Glen and Leonard Wood.  Wood Brothers Racing is the oldest active team in NASCAR having started in 1950.  Glen started racing for the team in 1950 and raced through the 1964 season.  A look at Wood Brothers' drivers throughout the years reads like a who's who of racing with such names as David Pearson (winner of the 1976 Triple Crown of NASCAR and 2011 NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductee), the Allisons, Cale Yarborough, A.J. Foyt, Neil Bonnett, Hut Stricklin, Kyle Petty, Dale Jarrett, Michael Waltrip, Elliott Sadler, Ricky Rudd, Ken Schrader, Bill Elliott, Marco Ambrose, and most recently Trevor Bayne.  

        Glen Wood's impact on racing and importance to the sport has been recognized by NASCAR's Hall of Fame voting members through their selection of him as a nominee in both 2010 and 2011.  Most recently, in this year's Daytona 500, Wood Brothers Racing continued to add to its storied tradition when Trevor Bayne in the No. 21 car became the youngest ever (at 20 years old) Daytona 500 Champion.
