    Leonard Wood is an amazing person. An all around master mechanical wizard, totally self taught engineer, an innovator in NASCAR many times over, an inventor. Above and beyond that, he is a consumate gentleman, and a caring, humble and respectful man to all. I have always admired Leonard, and love to hear him talk and tell stories. He has a gift.

    Leonard Wood you could say was a mechanical genius in the early years of NASCAR. You could also say he is the innovator of the modern day NASCAR pit stop. This legend has earned his place in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

    David Pearson and the Wood Brothers. An unbeatable team.

    Leonard stopped just short of sayin’ it ain’t fun anymore. That kinda sums up NASCAR for many people these days.

    If you ever get a chance to go to the Wood Brothers shop/museum, check out the lawn mowers they designed and built. Fantastic!

    I grew up a Richard Petty fan and always will be. But Pearson is equal in my book. His stats are iconic. When he went part time and still dominated on speedways, that speaks volumes for him and the Wood Brothers.

    Ford also sent the Wood Brothers team to Le Mans in the mid 60s and their car won there too
