Wood Brothers Pit Neil Bonnett At Pocono
The 1980 Coco-Cola 500, held at Pocono Raceway, was an all-time thriller. Over the final 56 laps, Buddy Baker and Neil Bonnett exchanged the lead 19 times. Bonnett took the lead with four laps to go and never looked back. The Wood Brothers (seen above) are the longest continually operating Monster Energy Series Cup team, and played a large part in so many legendary drivers’ careers. Also. This 1980 No. 21 Mercury Cougar was among the last cars that Bonnett, or anyone in NASCAR, raced with a 115-inch wheelbase. The next season, all cars were downsized to 110 inches to better line up with production car standard.
