For the Wood Brothers and their crew chief Jeremy Bullins, this week’s trip to Martinsville Speedway is like returning to the home place for a family reunion. Both the Woods and Bullins consider Martinsville their home track, and their sponsor for the weekend, Virginia Tech, is from nearby Blacksburg. This weekend’s race is a first at Martinsville for the Virginia Tech athletic program, but the Woods have been competing at Martinsville since the 1950s. The home track feeling takes on a new meaning this weekend as the #21 Fusion will be adorned with burgundy and orange colors of the Hokies. Virginia Tech took its first ride on the #21 back in August at Bristol Motor Speedway. The paint scheme and the association with the Hokies were a hit in the garage and in the grandstands at Bristol.(Wood Brothers Racing), see an image of the car on the #21 team paint schemes page.
