Ryan Blaney, driver of the #21 Wood Brothers Ford Fusion in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, took part in a special media event Tuesday where the 21-year-old unveiled a special Snap-on paint scheme that he will run during the Bojangles Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. The #21 Snap-on Ford will carry a special scheme honoring the rich history of the Wood Brothers Racing team and their 65 years in the sport. The retro, mosaic scheme will feature over 2,000 photos of the Wood Brothers dating back to 1950. The Wood Brothers team has earned eight wins in NASCAR’s top series at Darlington Raceway and 98 in the Sprint Cup Series since their inception 65 years ago. The unveil was a part of the August 4th Bojangles’ Southern 500 Media Day. Blaney and 2014 Sprint Cup Series Champion Kevin Harvick participated in a fan question-and-answer session followed by a simulated “cannonball run,” eventually arriving at the South Carolina Governor’s Mansion, where the #21 Snap-on Ford Fusion was unveiled. “We are honored that Snap-on would want to run a car honoring our history in the sport,” said Eddie Wood. “We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish in the last 65 years and the fact that we are still going strong. Darlington is one of the tracks that really holds a special place in our heart as a race team, so we are pretty excited to see what the car looks like on the track.”(Wood Brothers Racing), see an image of the car on the #21 team paint schemes page.(8-5-2015)
