While employed at International Business Machines Corp as a tool maker, Allen began doing race wheel repairs for the family owned asphalt modified race team. Word spread through the pits and before long he was repairing wheels for other team owners on a part time basis.  In 1990, Allen retired from IBM and formed Sherwood Racing Wheels, continuing with the wheel repair business and now fabricating new, custom built race wheels on a full time schedule. In 2003, Lee joined the business and Sherwood Racing Products, LLC was formed.  Lee’s education in mechanical technology and his 20 years of experience driving and preparing an asphalt modified serves him well in the business.
