by Holly CainDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The second slate of NASCAR Hall of Fame nominees was released Thursday night and includes five new names among the 25-person list, including Richard Petty's longtime crew chief, Dale Inman, and the late longtime R.J. Reynolds executive T. Wayne Robertson, who guided the tobacco company's involvement through the Winston Cup years as the sport began peaking in popularity. The five new nominees are: Inman, an eight-time champion crew chief (including one title with Terry Labonte); Robertson; six-time NASCAR Modified Series champ Jerry Cook; 1965 Daytona 500 winner Fred Lorenzen and and two-time Nationwide Series champino Jack Ingram. They join a list of 20 previous nominees: Bobby Allison, Buck Baker, Red Byron, Richard Childress, Richie Evans, Tim Flock, Rick Hendrick, Ned Jarrett, Bud Moore, Raymond Parks, Benny Parsons, David Pearson, Lee Petty, Fireball Roberts, Herb Thomas, Curtis Turner, Darrell Waltrip, Joe Weatherly, Glen Wood and Cale Yarborough. The inaugural class of five inductees -- Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, Bill France Sr. and Bill France Jr. -- was inducted in a ceremony at NASCAR's new Hall of Fame and Museum in downtown Charlotte on May 23. A voting panel of 53 plus a "fan vote" will decide which five of the 25 nominees will be inducted as the second Hall of Fame class. The announcement will be made this October with the induction coming next May.Permalink|Email this|LinkingBlogs|Comments
