One of Neil’s first real breaks came when the Wood Brothers asked him to drive the famed 21 car. The 21 car had serval great pilots including Curtis Turner, Tiny Lund, Fireball Roberts, Bob Welborn, Dale Jarrett, A.J. Foyt, Glen Wood, Buddy Baker, Marvin Panch, Junior Johnson, Cale Yarborough, Ned Jarrett, Fred Lorenzen, David Pearson, Joe Weatherly, Ralph Earnhardt, Neil Bonnett, Ricky Rudd, Mark Martin, and Bill Elliott. Please visit the Wood Brothers website at: Wood Brothers Racing This site has a treasure trove of NASCAR memories with their drivers. We lost Glen Wood on January 18th, 2019. Glen and his brother Leonard were truly pioneers of the sport.
For the past 2 years the famed 21 has driven by Josh Berry. Even though Josh did not have much success in rookie year in the Wood Brothers Mustang, he was able to get a win in 2025 at Las Vegas. Since the Wood Brothers are a satellite team of Team Penske all of us are expecting this team to improve. Good luck to the entire 21 team!
