The Motorcraft/Quick Lane team, with rookie driver Ryan Blaney now at the wheel, will be back on the track at Dover International Speedway this weekend for the first time since 2008, when the team cut back to a partial Sprint Cup schedule.
For the Wood Brothers, it’s a return to one of the tracks where they had great success in years past.
The Woods won seven times at Dover over the years, beginning with their first trip there in the fall of 1972.
David Pearson led 350 of that race’s 500 laps to win by three laps over second-place Richard Petty. Pearson swept the Dover races in 1973, beating Cale Yarborough in the spring and Bobby Allison in the fall.
Pearson won two more, in the spring of 1975 and the spring of 1978. Continue reading →
