misfish Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Nascar fans now have,a hall of fame and a great building to add. So many great drivers and ambassiters to mention,but my pick is the man in black.Dale Earnhart Sr. Speed channel is premeiring at 8pm, the movie about the man. DALE.
richyb Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Definitly the INTIMIDATOR ( dale sr.) , THE KING ( petty) , and tom cruise from days of thunder
shane Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Lots of great drivers could likely make 'Hall of Fame', but my favorite driver for many years has always been Ken Schrader. The happiest guy on the track. Whether he was doing good or not so good, he always just seemed so happy to just be there.
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Tons of guys deserve to be in the hall. Two I can think of right off the top are Cale Yarborough and The Silver Fox David Pearson Edited October 14, 2009 by DRIFTER_016
Cudz Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Aside from the obvious like Petty and Earnhart, I would have to go with DW and Bill Elliot when he hangs them up. Cale Yarborough is a great choice.
Daplumma Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Kenny is the man.He put out a book a few years ago.Good stuff and hes not a dumass.Dont know if he is a hall of famer but I'd love to share a boat with him one day.I predict Sr will be the first inducted.Not a bad choice. Joe
MuskyBill Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Earl Ross. Won the 1974 Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville, by more than a lap I might add, using creative pit stratagy combined with an incoming storm. Race was over halfway & called, with Ross the winner. He was a teammate to Cale Yarborough at the time, driving for Junior Johnson in a car sponsored by Carling. You might be asking "why Earl Ross?" He's from Alisa Craig, Ontario. Still the only Canadian to win in Nascar's top division.
Garnet Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I think the driver should be in pairs. Ralph Ernhardt Petty Sr. R Petty, David Pearson Cale, The Allisons Dale Sr. Rusty Wallace Garnet
Headhunter Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 The first guy to learn how to turn right would get my vote! HH
misfish Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 The first guy to learn how to turn right would get my vote! HH LOL I enjoyed the 2hr special last night.Showed a side we most never see. Looking forward to the voting. Im sure there might be a surprise or two. And yes Dan ,France for sure.
Garnet Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 You can tell those right turner can't compete by the number of ringers that lost. Red Byron gets a vote. Garnet
Tybo Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Mister excitement. Jimmie Spencer. Terry Labonte. Junior Johnson
misfish Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Jr Johnson,France Sr,France,R Petty and Dale E Thats your top 5 inducted. Edited October 14, 2009 by misfish
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 Jr Johnson,France Sr,France,R Petty and Dale E Thats your top 5 inducted. And the next three highest vote getters (who missed it by that much) were Cale Yarborough, David Pearson and Bobby Allison.
misfish Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Posted October 15, 2009 I,ll be the first to say. If Dale SR had still been here and racing,he would not of made the top 5.
Bernie Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 I think a few of the voters were kissing butt. Both France's? Nope. Important guys, yes, but the racers are why the people go. David Pearson should have been there.
oxcowboy Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 i know the list is out now, but dale sr. for sure. lets face it he was nascar in its hay day. i know i still will pull it up on youtube and shed a tear from time to time after a hard day of farm work and coors light. cant help it! i think jr johnson is also a good selection. jason
fishermccann Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 Bob Bruce who used to run out of Barrie--#50
misfish Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Posted October 15, 2009 Did a google search,cant find anything on Bob Bruce,well there is a Bob Bruce in baseball.
