Three individuals will be elected in two categories – Modern Era and Nascar Pioneers.
After not making the list last year – Janet Guthrie is back on the list for the second time. Guthrie is a women’s pioneer in the racing world – being the first to race in the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600.
