He seems to be a really nice, talented kid with good racing genes. The rest of the story is the Wood Bros. alliance with Penske.

Woodbrothers Racing Now Have 76 Alltime Drivers?
Does this includes all Wood Brothers drivers/relieved drivers in convertible/stock/modified/indy/USAC/NASCAR races?
Was the Wood Brothers involved in Drag Racing or Sports Car Racing?

Thanks for any information or photos posted.

I think the Penske alliance may be the bigger story here. Makes you wonder if they're getting ready to show Jack Roush the back door. Too bad Penske sold that engine shop when he left Dodge. A lot of the teams are getting ready to wind down because of the age of their owners. This may signal a rise to the top again for the revitalized Wood Brothers.

Please showed us the 76 all-time Wood Brothers drivers list or do you want us to guessed them?

They also ran Bobby East, Kelly Bires, Mark Martin and Keven Wood in trucks.
That's about 40 of 'em

Dennis, I'm glad you mentioned Richmond's Sonny Hutchins as a Wood Brothers driver. It is very disappointing to me how many folks never knew or forgot the potent #21 Ford Coupe Modified the Wood Brothers built for Sonny to drive back in the 60s. The car was later driven by Donnie Allison before being sold to Frank Edwards and totaled at Martinsville by Eddie Royster.

I don't believe you could number Jim Clark as a Wood Bros. driver, though. They simply pitted the Colin Chapman owned Lotus at Indy driven by Clark. Clark's only NASCAR start was in the Holman-Moody #66 at Rockingham.

From Richmond.com - 2002

Current and longtime Winston Cup team co-owner Glen Wood of Stuart, Va., fielded modifieds for Hutchins for a time during the 1960s.

"Sonny was a hard driver, as hard as they come," Wood says. "Sonny really didn't do it for money. He just loved it."

Cris Williams---No
