CHARLOTTE, N.C. (May 23, 2025) – Wood Brothers Racing and the NASCAR Hall of Fame have partnered to debut a new exhibit, “Wood Brothers 75 Years: A Family Legacy.” The display, presented by Motorcraft, opens to the public today, Friday, May 23, in the Great Hall and will remain on view for one year.
The exhibit features 54 artifacts spanning the team’s 75-year history, including a trophy and a crew shirt from each of the eight decades in which the team has celebrated a race win. Five race cars are also on view, alongside three custom vehicles hand-built by Leonard Wood between 1947 and 2022. The exhibit includes 111 photographs and six 65-inch video monitors, plus a striking video wall made up of three connected panels that stretch 80 inches tall and 150 inches wide.
“Wood Brothers Racing is synonymous with NASCAR racing. Their 75 years of competition and 101 Cup Series victories have established them as one of the elite organizations in NASCAR history,” said NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director Winston Kelley.
“Commonly referred to as ‘The Legendary Wood Brothers,’ this moniker is a tribute to their extensive contributions both on and off the racetrack, highlighted by their genuine humility and the unilateral respect they have garnered throughout the NASCAR industry and fan base.
“I continue to be amazed at how the entire family has worked so seamlessly and been supportive of one another through 75 years, over three generations, with a fourth generation coming along. This rich legacy is a testament to Wood Brothers founder Glenn Wood and his wife and family matriarch Bernece Wood. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is truly honored to be a part of celebrating this milestone in their family’s storied history.”
The Wood family worked closely with the NASCAR Hall of Fame staff to help curate the exhibit, selecting pieces that reflect both the personal and professional moments that have defined their journey.
“For our family, the NASCAR Hall of Fame has always meant so much to us, so to have an exhibit that tells our story in this space is truly special,” said team co-owners Eddie and Len Wood. “It’s humbling to look back at everything our parents and this team accomplished, and to know that fans will get to experience those memories here, alongside so many of the sport’s greats, means a lot to all of us.”
On Thursday evening, members of the Wood family, team personnel and close friends gathered for a private preview of the exhibit ahead of its public debut.
The yearlong display is part of the team’s broader 75th anniversary celebration, which includes special throwback schemes, digital content and more activities throughout the 2025 season.
