Wood Brothers Honor 1965 Indy 500 Victory with Darlington Tribute

Wood Brothers Racing will commemorate their historic connection to Jim Clark’s 1965 Indianapolis 500 victory with a special throwback paint scheme for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. The No. 21 Motorcraft Ford Mustang will feature a design inspired by Clark's Ford-powered Lotus, which was pivotal in their victory due to the Wood Brothers’ innovative pit strategies. This tribute was unveiled at a special event at the Henry Ford Museum, alongside Clark’s original race-winning car, and reflects the team's legacy as they celebrate their 101st NASCAR Cup Series victory. Team president Jon Wood emphasized the significance of this homage, marking both the 60th anniversary of Clark's win and the 75th anniversary of Wood Brothers Racing. The event also highlights the importance of recognizing diverse motorsports histories and expanding appreciation beyond just stock car racing. The throwback scheme will be showcased during NASCAR's annual Throwback Weekend on April 6, 2025.
