The first Hall of Fame class has been revealed: Bill France Sr., Richard Petty, Bill France Jr., Dale Earnhardt and Junior Johnson will be inducted next May.

This hall of fame is long overdue. Glad Junior and Petty made it first round

It's about time.....and that's a good initial class.......

Very good initial class. indeed. The only change I would make, if any, would be David Pearson going in instead of Earnhardt with him going in next year. Solely because of the era of things, all of the inductees with the exception of Earnhardt were outside modern era racing for the majority of their NASCAR careers.
