HALL OF FAME NOTES
The Hall of Fame will be a special place that brings NASCAR’s history to life and preserves that history in the appropriate environments. The facility also will allow longtime fans to have the opportunity to relive NASCAR’s greatest moments and for new fans to learn about them.
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. The Hall of Fame, which will open in Spring 2010, has been designed in concept by world renowned architecture firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. The firm has designed iconic buildings in cities worldwide, including the Javits Convention Center in New York, the expanded Louvre in Paris, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
