 Wood Brothers debut Darlington livery!

Wood Brothers Racing unveiled the number 21 car for the Darlington throwback race. 

It will sport a tribute paint scheme dating back to 1965. That is when Ford invited Wood Brothers to help support the Lotus-Ford team in the  1965 Indianapolis 500. With their speed and precision technique of pit stops, they contributed greatly to Jim Clark winning the 1965 Indy 500 



 


 Wood Brothers Racing is a NASCAR team that was founded in 1950. It holds the unique distinction of being the oldest active team in Nascar.

They are known for their long relationship with Ford and the long standing use of the number 21 on their main car. 

The Wood Brothers revolutionized motor racing by inventing the “ modern pit stop “. As other teams noticed the success with the efficient pit stops, they quickly adopted the Wood method. 

In 1965, Ford invited the Wood Brothers team to the Indianapolis 500 to support the Lotus-Ford team. Their speed and precision in the pits contributed to Jim Clark’s victory in the 1965 Indianapolis 500.

While over the years they have had many great drivers, Josh Berry is currently piloting the number 21.

Lando scores P1 at Season opener!


Norris 
surged to pole position for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, the McLaren driver having just edged out team mate Oscar Piastri by 0.084s to secure a front row lockout for the reigning Teams’ Champions.

After Max Verstappen had initially secured provisional pole during the first runs of Q3, Piastri thrilled the crowd at his home event by stunningly beating that effort by four-tenths. But the Australian did not keep P1 for long, as Norris went even faster on a lap of 1m 15.096s.

Verstappen wound up in third, the Red Bull man seemingly ready to take the fight to McLaren, while George Russell was fourth for Mercedes ahead of an impressive fifth place for Yuki Tsunoda in the Racing Bulls machine.

Jet fuel burns at Daytona!

A weird one at Daytona 500, Montoya crashes into a jet dryer at high speed, almost like an airplane accident with all the jet fuel! Took a while for them to get under control....not to much damage to the track.

"The Pickle"

The 67 project has been given the name " The Pickle ". Some people thought it looked like a green pickle.
Well, here is the Pickle with different wheels, older 70 ish aluminum . Kind of gives it a nostalgic look! 
Also, a little rubbing on the paint, and it is almost looking good.....
