WOW that is something congrats Glen Wood

From a Wood Brothers Racing news release:

There will be one extra special person in the Motorcraft/Quick Lane pit area when the green flag drops on Sunday. As soon as Thursdays Duels were over, team co-owner Eddie Wood took off for Stuart, Va., to pick up his father, the teams founder and family patriarch Glen Wood. They will drive back to Daytona for Glen Woods 68th consecutive Speedweeks, a stretch that dates back to the era when races were held on the old beach-road course.

Hes been coming here since 1947, Len Wood said. The first time he came to be with his hero Curtis Turner.

Since then, Glen Wood has gone on to a NASCAR Hall of Fame career and has been associated with many racing heroes at Daytona. His cars have won the 500 five times, most recently with Bayne, the 2011 winner who will begin Sundays race from his highest Daytona 500 starting spot yet.

Donnie Wingo, the veteran crew chief, figures the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion is back to the superspeedway form that Glen Wood has come to expect over the years.
