DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced on Thursday the annual induction process for the Hall of Fame, scheduled to open in Charlotte, N.C., in 2010.
The yearly HOF classes will have five inductees selected by a voting panel consisting of NASCAR industry leaders, manufacturer representatives, former competitors, the media and fans. Inductees will be chosen from an annual list of no more than 25 candidates. The main criteria for nomination and induction: NASCAR accomplishments and contributions to the sport.
To be eligible, former drivers must have competed 10 years in NASCAR and be retired from racing for a minimum of three years. Non-drivers must have worked at least 10 years in the industry. (Potential candidates with shorter careers may be considered if there are special circumstances.)
"With the excitement already building about the physical layout of the Hall of Fame, this will add to the excitement on another front, regarding this impressive, historic project," NASCAR chairman Brian France said. "We have established an orderly induction process that is inclusive, involving various industry constituencies -- most importantly, the fans."
