NASCAR Hall of Fame Pictures

Nascar360

I was there last weekend for the induction ceremony and 2013 Acceleration autograph event.

I thought since most of you have never seen it I would post a few pictures and I will make it quick.

When you enter they have something called Glory Road in this huge facility with the car makes from the early days to current. This is a big curved road (180 degree picture)




The Hall of Honor is where the current 5 inductees have stuff on exhibit. It is a circular room. I pulled out the iPhone to take the two 180 degree photos.

I purchased one of those bricks you can have your name and a statement put on it. It's sitting somewhere near the entrance where people trample on it but I have not been privileged enough yet to come see it. It's a must do in another couple years when more members of the Hall are in.

Thanks for the pictures. Quite cool.

Love the NASCAR Hall of Fame. One of the best ones out there.

Must be neat to see all of those cars in one place. I had no idea there was a Hall of Fame for driving a car.

Yeah, I hear they have a HOF for hitting a ball that some other guy throws and another HOF for throwing a ball threw a hoop.

Of course if they have a bad day playing their “game” they might get injured and have to rehab unlike driving a car where they could lose their life.

nopenotyet - Let me know where it is and I will send you a picture of your brink the next time I go.

It seems I have offended a sensitive person. The old painted up cars look neat but I just had no idea such a thing existed. I have no interest in it. I will say it is an interesting test of skill and endurance. Who knows what is a sport anymore. Some people say golf, bowling, and darts are a sport when they are a recreation. There is a line that decides what is and what isn't a sport and at some point that line was moved.

I'm not offended, my goal is always education. From the original post "I thought since most of you have never seen it I would post a few pictures and I will make it quick."

There is so much experience and knowledge on these boards from different sports and non-sports I thought I would share

Actually almost anything considered a sport does have a hof. Even race walking. anyone know where its is w/o googling it? probably not.

I'm in upstate NY and there's probably 10 hof's within 2 hours drive.

Love that pic can't wait to get there some day.

mr nascar get some more pics up. We love em!!!!!

I went to the Hall about a month ago. Here's a pair of Coca Cola pants that some pit crews used to wear


Here's my Dad's Coca Cola pants from when he was on Bobby Allison's crew in 1970/71. As you can see I haven't finished the shadow box. And of course my Dad thought it would be a great idea to cut them up into shorts in the 70's. lol

I am glad you are not offended. I only thought your were because of the sarcasm and the argument that drivers deserve a HOF because they could die. Do you have a link where I could read about the origin of nascar? It is always good to learn something new.

Love that Bill Elliott #9 Coors car!

But I also hate that the HOF essentially killed Daytona USA.

The Only Hall Of Fame I have been to is the Baseball HOF. It helps i am an hour away. The NASCAR Hall Of Fame
looks like a great place to go .

There a little bit of science, team work, skill and luck to get to victory lane.

Here's a short version about NASCAR history:
A Brief History of Nascar: From Moonshine Runners to Dale Earnhardt Jr.

The best pre-nascar and early years of nascar book is:
Driving with the Devil: Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR by Neal Thompson.

SloshedJosh - I love the pants. Reminds me of the outfits Andy Granatellii use to make the STP guys wear!

SloshedJosh

Wow I thought the Coke pants were loud. STP uniforms are rough on the eyes.

The NASCAR Hall of Fame is one of my favorite places on the planet. I love the history of the sport.
I was also there this past weekend for the Class of 2013 Induction and the NASCAR Acceleration.

Here is my brick at the Hall.
