The 3 drivers have impeccable records-but- look at the number of "non-racers"! Biz as usual with the "new" HOF!Drivers: Dave Blaney, Bobby Davis (Jr.), Mark Kinser.

Proof once again that there was no sprint car racing prior to the formation of the World of Outlaws.
And I have nothing against any of the drivers being inducted, they just would not have been my first 3 choices.
Why do I like racing ? Well the colors are bright and there is a lot of movement, so it holds my attention.

Dale...What do you mean "non-racers"?? The voting is in four categories, one of which is just for promoters, media people and the like, in other words, those who did not drive, own or work on a car, but an important part of the sport!!

I get your point Walt. There are several catagories that receive nominations.The "non-racers"-as I put it are simply people involved with sport to "Make it Happen". Without them it wouldn't be the same. It might not even be there! My desire to see more drivers in the HOF gets the best of me some times. How many years have you been covering the Sprints and Supers? No,you are correct-ALL-the catagories are important.Dale...What do you mean "non-racers"??
