Who will YOU vote into the Hall of Fame?

Well, here they are, the next group of nominees for the NASCAR Hall Of Fame.

Some I already voted for LAST year. Tim Flock and Richard Childress. Will I vote them again? Darn tootin' I will. Here's a little shot of me with RC on my recent trip to Charlotte, with a stop off at the Childress Vineyard.

But who for the other three? (Thanks for this list, nascar.com!)

Following are the 25 nominees:

• Bobby Allison, 1983 Cup Series champion and winner of 84 races
• Buck Baker, first driver to win consecutive Cup Series championships
• Red Byron, first Cup Series champion, in 1949
• Richard Childress, 11-time car owner champion in NASCAR's three national series
• Jerry Cook, six-time NASCAR Modified champion
• Richie Evans, nine-time NASCAR Modified champion
• Tim Flock, two-time Cup Series champion
• Rick Hendrick, 12-time car owner champion in NASCAR's three national series

(OK, same trip to Charlotte. Mr. Hendrick walked through the office complex above the display room in the 88 and 5 building. He stopped smiled and waved, but my shutter finger wasn't fast enough. Here, he's ready for the meeting he was headed to.)
• Jack Ingram, two-time Busch Series champion
• Dale Inman, eight-time Cup Series championship crew chief
• Ned Jarrett, two-time Cup Series champion
• Fred Lorenzen, 26 wins and winner of the Daytona 500 and World 600
• Bud Moore, 63 wins and two Cup Series titles as a car owner
• Raymond Parks, NASCAR's first champion car owner
• Benny Parsons, 1973 Cup Series champion
• David Pearson, 105 victories and three Cup Series championships
(His letter of application to NASCAR is in the HOF already. Here it is, Dave Pearson's resume, so to speak, to become a driver.

• Lee Petty, winner of first Daytona 500 and first three-time Cup Series champion
• Fireball Roberts, won 33 Cup Series races, including the 1962 Daytona 500
(See the photo below with my vote for him.)
• T. Wayne Robertson, helped raise NASCAR popularity as R.J. Reynolds Senior VP
• Herb Thomas, first two-time Cup Series champion, in 1951 and '53
• Curtis Turner, early personality, called the "Babe Ruth of stock-car racing"
• Darrell Waltrip, winner of 84 races and three Cup Series championships
• Joe Weatherly, two-time Cup Series champion
• Glen Wood, as driver, laid foundation for Wood Brothers' future team success
• Cale Yarborough, winner of three consecutive Cup Series titles, in 1976-78

I'm saying Cale Yarborough. And, Fireball Roberts. Like the photo? Kinda neat. That's the jacket he wore to Atlanta Raceway a week before the on-track wreck which killed him. All these years, from 1964, the stuff was still in the pockets - a lighter, his signed garage pass and a race ticket.
