Cale Yarborough was inducted to the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Jan. 20 along with Glen Wood. Cale was a former driver of Wood Brothers Racing

Wood, a four-time NASCAR premier series winner, left the driver’s seat to own the fabled No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford team. With his four brothers, who include NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee and crew chief Leonard Wood, the organization counts 98 victories, including its fifth Daytona 500 win in 2011 with 20-year-old Trevor Bayne. Those who drove for the 86-year-old Wood’s Stuart, Va.-based team included fellow inductee Yarborough, NASCAR Hall of Famer David Pearson, A.J. Foyt and road racer Dan Gurney. "This is not just about me being inducted in the Hall of Fame," said Wood. "It's also about the Wood Brothers. And it's about NASCAR. And I'm proud to have been a NASCAR driver and car owner for the past 60 years, and I'm proud of this great honor." Yarborough, a native of Sardis, S.C., made NASCAR premier series history in 1978 when he won his third consecutive championship, a record that stood until Jimmie Johnson claimed his fourth straight title in 2009. Yarborough, now 72, won 83 times – sixth all-time – including four Daytona 500s. The majority of his wins came in cars fielded by Junior Johnson. "Racing is like a big, tall ladder," Yarborough said. "When you begin, you’re at the bottom. And it’s a long, hard climb. And tonight, I feel like I’m standing on the top step." Source: http://insiderracingnews.com/Weekly/2012/012712.html
