Before the Wood name became synonymous with that of dominant teams, Glen tried his hand as a competitor on NASCAR's Winston Cup division. He proved to be quite a competitor during his 11-year career -- notching 34 top-10 finishes in just 62 starts. In 1960, Wood claimed three of his four wins and four pole positions while competing in just nine races. After his driving career, Glen and his brother Leonard combined to make the Wood Brothers team one of the most formidable programs in NASCAR Winston Cup history with 92 wins to its credit. In 1995, the Wood Brothers were inducted into Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway's Court of Legends.
