Mementos from Wood Brothers Racing Museum

To commemorate what would've been Glen Wood's 100th birthday on July 18, 2025, let's take a look around the Wood Brothers Racing Museum in Stuart, Virginia. Learn the story behind the museum and find out how you can visit.

The museum is located in what was the fourth and final shop the team had in Virginia before moving to North Carolina in 2003. The photo on the table is of Glen Wood and his wife Bernece. 

A chain hangs from the ceiling and is connected to a branch, symbolizing the beech tree used to lift engines out of WBR cars. The original beech tree still exists and is where the family takes its annual Thanksgiving Day photo.

Here is the crib in which several generations of the Wood family were rocked from 1923-92.

These were Glen Wood's tools of the trade as he helped build one of NASCAR's most iconic race teams.

Glen's brother, NASCAR Hall of Famer Leonard Wood, still works in a shop in the back area of the museum.

Here's Len Wood in the trophy room his dad designed after Trevor Bayne's 2011 Daytona 500 victory.
