A childhood trip to the garage can birth a lifelong passion. That’s exactly the story of Gary Patellaro. Better known as “Woodman” throughout the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series pit area, Patellaro hails from San Jose, CA and comes from West Coast racing royalty. His uncle, Billy Albini, is one of the sport’s most renowned crew chiefs, thanks in large part to a dominant stretch with Brent Kaeding.

That’s exactly what happened Saturday night.
