DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – The Wood Brothers were once a juggernaut in NASCAR, a family team that perfected the modern pit stop and raced to win after win with David Pearson behind the wheel of the powerful No. 21 machine.
As the years passed, though, the brothers got left behind.
Big-spending teams swiped their innovations, assembled a garage full of stars and pushed the Woods to the back of the field, scrambling just to get one car on the track.
Well, look who’s back in Victory Lane on Sunday.
In the biggest event of all, no less.
Twenty-year-old Trevor Bayne drove to a stunning win in the Daytona 500, becoming the youngest winner of the Great American Race for NASCAR’s oldest team.
