DW Cale Yarborough Ritchie Evans Glen Wood and Dale Inman are the next class to be inducted into the NASCAR Hall Of Fame . What do you all think ? Good choices ? Bad choices ? or dont give a damn lol
I think the choices are pretty good. It is tough to take Glen Wood without Leonard Wood though. In a way they seem like a pair. Also I would have liked to have seen DW wait one more year. Mostly because of the poor attitude and professionalism he showed last year when he was not nominated. He was so confident he was in the 2nd class, and when announced he did not make the 2nd class he had some choice words. So for that I would have liked him to wait one more year. A course on the radio today he said he is not glad he did not make the second class as he feels this year is more sweet after not getting in last year.
I agree, Cale should have been in last year easy. I just hope Nascar doesn't let politics ruin something good. I've always
thought that they should have inducted 10 for the first 5 years, one group from the pioneers era and one group from the
modern era,
I think anyone still active in the sport, whether it's competetive or in a promotional or broadcast role, should not be elligebile. There are a LOT of HOF-worthy candidates who are no longer with us, or are no longer out there to shill for themselves who should be placed first. Curtis Turner, Joe Weatherly, the Flock brothers, etc.
DW does deserve to be in the Hall eventually, but there are others who should be there first, IMO.
I'm with you Alan, if they're still active,there still active,HOF is for the remembrance of the past'd or retired.IMO. I have a mentor that will be in the WSMCHOF if he ever retires,but he has been declared deceased!
Alan is right.....to many are going in that are still active. What about all the guys that started this racing 65 years ago..........where are there names. Nascar is trying to make it to much of a feel good story, they are just lost sometimes...lol
