2013 NASCAR Hall Of Fame Class Announced

NASCAR announced today the 2013 class of inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The five-person class, which will be officially inducted in a ceremony on Friday, Feb. 8, 2013 at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C., consists of Buck Baker, Cotton Owens, Herb Thomas, Rusty Wallace and Leonard Wood. Members of the 54-member NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Panel met today in a closed session in Charlotte, N.C., to vote on the induction class of 2013. The announcement was made by NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France in the NASCAR Hall of Fame’s “Great Hall.”

Next year’s class was determined by votes cast by the Voting Panel, which included representatives from NASCAR, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, track owners from major facilities and historic short tracks, media members, manufacturer representatives, retired competitors (drivers, owners, crew chiefs), recognized industry leaders and a nationwide fan vote conducted through NASCAR.COM. The accounting firm of Ernst & Young presided over the tabulation of the votes. Voting for this year’s class was as evenly distributed as any previous NASCAR Hall of Fame induction class. Herb Thomas and Leonard Wood each garnered 57 percent of the vote, followed by Rusty Wallace (52%), Cotton Owens (50%) and Buck Baker (39%). For the first time in Voting Day history, there was a tie for the fifth and final induction spot. Voting Panel members chose Baker over Fireball Roberts after a re-vote between the two nominees. The next top vote getters were Roberts, Jerry Cook and Tim Flock.

Results for the NASCAR.COM Fan Vote, in alphabetical order, were Benny Parsons, Fireball Roberts, Wendell Scott, Rusty Wallace and Leonard Wood. The five inductees came from a group of 25 nominees for induction into the 2013 NASCAR Hall of Fame class that included: Buck Baker, Red Byron, Richard Childress, Jerry Cook, H. Clay Earles, Tim Flock, Ray Fox, Anne Bledsoe France, Rick Hendrick, Jack Ingram, Bobby Isaac, Fred Lorenzen, Cotton Owens, Raymond Parks, Benny Parsons, Les Richter, Fireball Roberts, T. Wayne Robertson, Wendell Scott, Ralph Seagraves, Herb Thomas, Curtis Turner, Rusty Wallace, Joe Weatherly and Leonard Wood.

Class of 2013 Inductees:

Buck Baker - Elzie Wylie “Buck” Baker established himself as one of NASCAR’s early greats, becoming the first driver to win consecutive NASCAR premier series championships. His repeat performance in 1956-57 was the highlight of an incredible four-year span; in 1955 and ’58 Baker finished as the series championship runner-up. His career victory total of 46 ranks tied for 14th all-time.

Cotton Owens - Everett “Cotton” Owens enjoyed success as both a driver and owner in NASCAR. Behind the wheel, he won nine times in NASCAR’s premier series competition, including the 1957 Daytona Beach road course. He nearly won the 1959 championship, finishing second to NASCAR Hall of Famer Lee Petty. But as an owner, Owens stood out as one of the greats of NASCAR’s early eras. His eye for talent was unmatched. He hired NASCAR Hall of Famer Junior Johnson in 1962, the same season in which he began a future championship relationship with another NASCAR Hall of Famer David Pearson. Owens won 38 races as an owner.

Herb Thomas - Herb Thomas was truly one of NASCAR’s first superstars. He was the first to win two NASCAR premier series championships (1951, ’53). He finished second in the points standings in 1952 and 1954 giving the North Carolina veteran top-two championship finishes in four consecutive seasons. He finished outside the top two in the championship only once (fifth in 1955) between 1951 and 1956. Thomas won both his championships driving self-owned cars.

Rusty Wallace - Russell William Wallace Jr., the 1989 NASCAR premier series champion, won his first of 55 races in 1986, capturing the checkered flag at Bristol Motor Speedway. His 55 victories rank ninth all time. He was especially adept on the circuit’s short tracks winning 25 times at Bristol, Martinsville, North Wilkesboro and Richmond. His influence on the sport continued after his retirement, as an analyst on ESPN.

Leonard Wood - The Wood Brothers team is renowned as the innovator of the modern pit stop. Leonard Wood, brother of Glen and Delano Wood, was front and center in its development as chief mechanic (crew chief) for the Stuart, Va.-based team. As crew chief, Wood amassed 96 wins and 117 poles in 990 races.

NASCAR Penalizes Sadler, Nationwide Team For Iowa Infraction

NASCAR penalized the No. 2 team of Nationwide Series title contender Elliott Sadler on Tuesday, docking the Richard Childress Racing team six points in the series standings. The No. 2 Chevrolet from Richard Childress Racing was too low in post-race inspection after Sadler finished second in Sunday's Pioneer Hi-Bred 250 at Iowa Speedway. Sadler indicated Monday on SPEED's "Race Hub" broadcast that the illegal body height was likely due to a parts failure. It marked the second time in three weeks that Childress' top Nationwide operation has been penalized. Crew chief Luke Lambert was placed on probation May 1 through the end of the season after the car's front bumper covers were found with unapproved modifications in a pre-race inspection at Richmond International Raceway. Lambert was fined $10,000 for the Iowa violations. Sadler was stripped of six points in the Nationwide driver standings and car owner of record DeLana Harvick was docked six points in the series' owner standings. Sadler, who ranks second in Nationwide standings, now is 34 points behind defending series champion and current points leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who notched his third win of the season Sunday at Iowa.

Toyota Unveils New Sprint Cup Car For 2013

2013 Toyota Camry Revealed

Through the open bay on the side of Toyota Racing Development's chassis engineering facility drove Kyle Busch -- in the 2013 Camry that will make its first competitive laps in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series next year. With distinctive racy lines and significantly more brand identity than has accrued to NASCAR's current-generation racecar, the 2013 competition Camry is both a new, sleek entry into the world's foremost stock car racing series and, at the same time, a throwback to an era where cars on the racetrack were the clearly identifiable brethren of cars sold in America's showrooms. Clint Bowyer, driver of Michael Waltrip Racing's No. 15 Toyota, admired the new car, both for its looks and for the broader concept it represents. "I think it's really cool," Bowyer told the NASCAR Wire Service. "To me, it really gets back to that winning on Sunday, selling on Monday feel that NASCAR once had and once used. That slogan rang so true for so many years. That's definitely implemented into these new cars. You started to see it in the Nationwide cars a few years ago. It needed to be done, and I'm excited that they finally made it all happen."

For 10 straight years, the Camry has been the best-selling car in America. Nevertheless, Toyota embarked on an aggressive redesign to provide the Camry with an updated look. The 2013 racecar features a distinctive grille area and pronounced character lines, or shoulders, running from the rear of the car to the "A" pillars on either side of the windshield. "All the Toyota designs have ramped up," said car owner Michael Waltrip, who like Joe Gibbs and JTG/Daugherty Racing has signed a multiyear extension with Toyota. "It's a really cool looking product that they're selling, and to be able to race one of them is really fun for me. I love it. It's something that I think people will get excited about. "That's good for our sponsors and good for our sport."

As the winner of 85 events in NASCAR's top three touring series since joining Joe Gibbs Racing's Toyota team in 2008 (84 points races in addition to the Budweiser Shootout), Busch was chosen to do the unveiling by driving the car into the building. "Toyota and I have a great relationship," Busch said. "I've done a lot of commercials for them--doing some fun commercials, singing a little bit -- but to come here and to drive the car and to get to be the one who unveils the 2013 Camry first was meaningful." --/-- The new Camry was a cooperative effort between TRD's chassis engineering division and Calty Design, part of Toyota's global design team. But those weren't the only players involved. Representatives of Toyota have met regularly with representatives of the other three Cup manufacturers -- Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge -- to find common ground. All four manufacturers still have to submit their designs for final approval, and doubtless there will be tweaks and additional trips to the wind tunnel before then.

NASCAR, of course, has been heavily involved, too, as both the manufacturers and sanctioning body have worked to achieve a balance between increased brand identity and competitive parity between the brands. "The manufacturers have worked really, really hard," said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president of competition. "We set some pretty difficult (aerodynamic) targets to hit originally, and we've moved the targets a little bit as they work and get closer." --/-- In fact, Dodge originally came closest to the drag coefficient numbers NASCAR mandated in the early stages of development, but rather than demand a hard-line number, NASCAR relaxed its requirements recently. "At the end of the day, there are two things that are neck-and-neck; parity, obviously, which we can regulate with spoilers and splitters and all of that; and identity," Pemberton said. "This whole project (the 2013 cars) started off with identity, knowing that we had to maintain parity in the garage area. We were at one area (in terms of drag), and it got to the point of diminishing returns (in that manufacturers couldn't meet the numbers without sacrificing some of the distinctive lines of their cars), so we changed the target. We met them a little bit on the target about 10 days ago to try to help the process along." (NASCAR Wire Service)

New Hampshire Motor Speedway Upgrades Facility

The north end garage at New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been the home of NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series for nearly two decades. But when stock car racing’s premier circuit returns to Loudon for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 on July 15, they will have a new home in the infield center garage, a move that is expected to make life easier for teams and fans alike. “This is a culmination of about four years of planning,” said John Zudell, New Hampshire Motor Speedway vice president of operations and development. “When we rearranged the south half of the infield in 2009, it started the conversation of putting the Sprint Cup Series in the center garage. This upcoming season, fans will be able to see Cup drivers in the center of the infield.” Fans will now have a garage that’s far more accessible than previous years, while still providing teams more maneuverability – which is crucial given pre-race pit pass distribution has increased by nearly 300 percent. “The increase brings a lot more fans close to the pit-road activities,” said Zudell of the spike in pre-race pit passes. “We’ve added two more crossover gates on the frontstretch that will give us more capacity to get people in and out in the rush just prior to the race.”

The switch in garage locations not only benefits fans, but the teams as well. The center garage, which sits directly behind victory lane, will lessen the time it takes to get from pit road back to the garage, and vice versa. The NASCAR Nationwide Series will now use the north end garage. The process of preparing the infield for the garage swap also included a project to level the cold pit road. In recent years, pit stalls 1-28 had been level with pit road, while pits 29-43 were perched near the top of the pit wall. This meant for pits south of victory lane crews had to go up and over for a pit stop, while the others merely needed to jump down off the wall. In essence, leveling pit road has leveled the playing field for all teams. A new pedestrian sidewalk through the tunnel beneath Turn 2 will also contribute to infield accessibility. Since purchasing the track on January 11, 2008, Speedway Motorsports, Inc. has made it a priority to upgrade the facility each season. While the 2012 construction might not provide the same “Wow! Factor” that Frank Webb’s Bath Center did in 2010 or the Panasonic scoreboard did in 2011, its goal is still very much the same: to ensure fans have the best experience possible.

NASCAR Adds Media Excellence Award To Annual Hall Of Fame Honors: Following the announcement of the 2013 NASCAR Hall of Fame class tonight, NASCAR announced the creation of a new award to honor the contributions of media to the success of the sport. This award, which will become part of the annual NASCAR Hall of Fame ceremonies beginning in February 2013, will bear the names of the first two award winners, legendary broadcasters Ken Squier and Barney Hall, and be called the Squier-Hall Award for NASCAR Media Excellence.
A special exhibit will be created as part of the existing media section within the NASCAR Hall of Fame to recognize the careers of Squier and Hall, as well as honorees in the years to come.
"Media have played an important role in the growth and popularity of NASCAR over the years by telling the stories of legendary drivers, championship moments and week-to-week action to millions of fans across the world," said Brian France, NASCAR chairman and CEO. "The voices of Ken Squier and Barney Hall are an indelible part of our sport's history and we couldn't be more pleased to recognize their long and outstanding careers."
Squier, one of NASCAR's original broadcasters, carved a massive footprint during NASCAR's formative broadcast years. Beginning with the Motor Racing Network (MRN) in 1970, Squier's golden voice took NASCAR to a national audience thirsting for live coverage. He is perhaps best-known for his work during the 1979 Daytona 500, a milestone moment for the entire sport, as Squier's voice on CBS welcomed millions to the first live flag-to-flag coverage of "The Great American Race" a moniker he coined. Following that signature moment, including his call of the post-race fight between Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison, Squier proceeded to call races for CBS and TBS until 1997 before shifting to the studio as host for NASCAR broadcasts until 2000. Squier continues to enlighten NASCAR fans to this day, mostly through special appearances on SPEED. Hall began his career in the 1950s working at local radio stations in North Carolina and served as Bristol Motor Speedway's first public address announcer when the track opened. He called his first Daytona 500 in 1960, and has missed only three broadcasts in the 54-year history of The Great American Race. He joined MRN as an original announcer at the network's inception in 1970, first as a turn announcer and then moving to the booth in the late 70s where he has been a fixture ever since at race tracks from coast to coast. The Elkin, North Carolina, native who is widely known for his calm voice and unmatched storytelling, was inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association (NMPA) Hall of Fame in 2007. Hall has called a number of the sport's milestone moments, including the landmark 1979 Daytona 500, Richard Petty's 200th-career victory in 1984 and Dale Earnhardt's 1998 victory in the Daytona 500. Still active, Hall led the MRN broadcast of last week's NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Each year, five nominees will be selected by a panel made up of NASCAR executives, NASCAR Hall of Fame staff, and the president of the NMPA, among others. From there, a voting panel will select an annual winner of the Squier-Hall Award for NASCAR Media Excellence, beginning with the third honoree (Squier and Hall are the first two) in 2013. It is anticipated the annual award winner will be announced in June, approximately one month after the Hall of Fame inductees are announced. Squier-Hall Award winners will remain eligible for NASCAR Hall of Fame induction. Likewise, current and future inductees who made significant contributions as a member of the media will be eligible to win the Squier-Hall Award. The 2013 NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremonies will be held Feb. 8, 2013.(NASCAR)(5-23-2012)
ESPN shooting NASCAR ad in Kannapolis NC: Film crews from ESPN are taking advantage of race week in Cabarrus County to shoot a commercial featuring NASCAR drivers. Officials were setting up at the Gem Theatre in Kannapolis on Tuesday morning, gearing up for the film shoot. Officials said a crew of more than 60 were working on the commercials, which would feature several NASCAR drivers. Officials declined to elaborate on the plot of the commercial or which drivers would be used, but did confirm the commercial was for ESPN. Kannapolis Police Department blocked of the street in front of the Gem Theatre, which rentral trucks and other vehicles hauling camera equipment blocking off West 1st Street, Kannapolis. The film crew were also filming at First Baptist Church, using a room in the church to double as a press conference meeting (Independent Tribune)(5-23-2012)
Air Force joins Almiola for the Coca Cola 600: Aric Almirola and the #43 Richard Petty Motorsports team will carry the colors of the U.S. Air Force this weekend as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series marks the Memorial Day holiday and pays tribute to the nation's fallen military. Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway is the first of two primary sponsorship races [the other is Daytona in July] for the Air Force, which is also an associate sponsor on the #43 Ford for the entire 2012 season. In addition to his on-track activities this weekend, Almirola will also participate in Richard Petty Motorsports' third annual Fan Appreciation Day on Thursday from 7 am to noon at the RPM shop in Concord, N.C. The first 200 fans in line who donate a nonperishable food item to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina will receive a commemorative ticket allowing them access to the shop and an autograph session with Richard Petty, Almirola and his teammates, Marcos Ambrose and Michael Annett (RPM), see images of the car/scheme on the #43 Team Schemes page.(5-23-2012)
SealWrap extends sponsorship with #36: SealWrap Repair Tape will extend their eight-race partnership with Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR). The Indiana-based company will support Dave Blaney and the #36 Chevy in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. SealWrap Repair Tape, a self-fusing rubber tape, will join TBR for NASCAR's longest race this weekend after supporting the team at Bristol, Richmond and Darlington. SealWrap Repair Tape is designed for use in automotive repair, plumbing and electrical. It fixes and protects leaks or penetration from environmental elements. It is great for all those minor, do-it-yourself jobs around the house and garage. SealWrap Repair Tape uses a stretch-and-wrap technology that makes repairing irregular forms and shapes easy. "We are pleased that SealWrap is coming on board for the Coca-Cola 600," explained Tommy Baldwin. "SealWrap has been a good partner for us. Between the Cup and Nationwide team, they have seen a good return on their investment. Finding a good return on investment is our goal for each partner, and we are pleased that we have succeeded with SealWrap."(Tommy Baldwin Racing)(5-23-2012)
JTG & JGR also re-sign with Toyota: Joe Gibbs Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing and JTG Daugherty Racing announced new multiyear extensions with Toyota on Tuesday. Lee White, the president of Toyota Racing Development, said all three teams will be with Toyota "for a long time to come." The announcement was made at TRD's Salisbury, N.C., shop where the re-designed 2013 Camry was introduced. It came amid speculation that Dodge, which loses anchor Penske Racing to Ford after this season, might target JGR. White admitted that one of Toyota's organizations was "ripe for the picking by one of our fellow manufacturers." "All have agreements with Toyota and TRD that extend beyond two more years," White said. "Rest assured, we enjoy our partners, we value our partners, and we expect to be competing with our partners on this dance floor for a long time." JGR owner Joe Gibbs said he never had conversations with Dodge.(ESPN)(5-23-2012)

DANICA PATRICK TICKET PACKAGE, WHICH INCLUDES Q&A, AVAILABLE FOR IRWIN TOOLS NIGHT RACE

BRISTOL, Tenn. (Wednesday, May 23, 2012) – Danica Patrick makes history again at Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday, Aug. 25 when she attempts to qualify for the IRWIN Tools Night Race.

Fans have the chance not only to see her become the first woman to make a NASCAR Sprint Cup start at BMS since Janet Guthrie did so in 1977, but also take part in a question-and-answer session that is part of a special ticket package involving Patrick.

The ticket packages, which also include a Patrick racing cap, are available now and start at $100.

Other drivers participating in question-and-answer sessions as part of ticket packages are Jeff Gordon, Brad Keselowski and Kasey Kahne, all former winners in either Cup or Nationwide action at the World’s Fastest Half-Mile.

With every Gordon ticket package sold, a $24 donation is made to the AARP Foundation to support Drive to End Hunger, a national effort by AARP and the AARP Foundation to help the nearly nine million older Americans who face the threat of hunger.

A $20 donation from each Keselowski ticket is made to the driver’s Checkered Flag Foundation, which supports individuals who have sacrificed greatly for America, including military members, veterans, first-responders and their families, among others.

Fans who have already purchased tickets to the IRWIN Tools Night Race may upgrade to any Q&A package for an additional $25. For purchases or upgrades call BMS ticket office at 423-BRISTOL or 1-866-415-4158.

The August race week at BMS kicks off Aug. 22 with a doubleheader, which features the Volunteer 200 Camping World Truck Series race and the UNOH Perfect Storm 150 Whelen Modified event. On tap Aug. 24 is the Food City 250 Nationwide Series race, followed by the IRWIN Tools Night Race Sprint Cup event Aug. 25.

Tickets are available for the IRWIN Tools Night race, starting at $75 while tickets for the Food City 250 start at $45. An August race weekend package, which includes a ticket to the IRWIN Tools Night Race and the Food City 250, starts at $110. A doubleheader ticket for Wednesday night’s Camping World Truck Series race and the UNOH Perfect Storm 150 is available for $30.

Food City 250 tickets for children 15 and under are available at half price, starting at $22. Entry for children 12 and under is free for Wednesday night’s doubleheader.

See the complete list on the Charlotte entry list page.
NASCAR Nationwide Series at Charlotte on ABC: The NASCAR Nationwide Series races this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the History 300 airs live on ABC on Saturday, May 26. NASCAR Countdown airs at 2:30 p.m. ET with the race's green flag at 3:01 p.m. Also from Charlotte, ESPN2 airs NASCAR Nationwide Series qualifying on Saturday at 11 a.m.(ESPN)(5-21-2012)

Tim Bainey in the #24 at Dover: It's been more than a year since Philipsburg's Tim Bainey Jr. was officially in a race car, but on June 2 he'll be running against some of NASCAR's best drivers. Bainey Jr. will drive for SR2 Motorsports in the Nationwide Series' "5-Hour Energy 200" at Dover International Raceway on June 2. "I'm pretty excited," said Bainey, Jr., who found out Tuesday that he would have a shot behind the wheel of the #24 Chevy. "I've been trying to do this for awhile. We finally got something together. It was kind of a last-minute deal." Bainey Jr. said several factors played a part in landing the ride. He said friend Benny Gordon, who he raced against on the USAR Hooters ProCup Series several years ago, helped in the process. Gordon has run six races with the team this season, including a 12th-place finish at Daytona. But Gordon doesn't have sponsorship for the whole season, so several drivers with their own sponsorship deals have the opportunity to race in car. Gordon put in a good word for Bainey Jr. Bainey already had sponsors Window World and DelGrosso's Pasta Sauces lined up for some other racing opportunities, but both were on board when Bainey Jr. had a shot at the Nationwide ride.(Centre Daily Times)(5-24-2012)
Green will again sub for McClure: 2000 NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion Jeff Green will continue to sub for the #14 team's injured primary driver Eric McClure, who is still awaiting for medical clearance to return to NNS competition. McClure said, "I am disappointed to not have the opportunity to be back in the car. Although I continue to show improvement, I haven't progressed quite as quickly as I would have liked. There is no timetable to return, although we will evaluate my status each week. In the meantime, I will be the best teammate I can be to Jeff and TriStar Motorsports and I know that our car is in good hands."(TMI)(5-23-2012)
Sacred Power Motorsports aligns with Nemechek: Sacred Power Motorsports (SPM), a Native American owned and operated motorsports and marketing firm announced an alliance with NEMCO Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. SPM will race at least 6 events in 2012, starting with driver Joe Nemechek driving in the History 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26th. SPM will then switch to New Mexico-based driver Alex Kennedy as its primary driver as well as development Native American driver A.J. Russell. Says David Melton, team owner, "We're excited to get Sacred Power Motorsports back on the track. We've had an 8 month hiatus after making our debut in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Now we're in the NASCAR Nationwide Series for at least 6 races this year. We could not be happier than to be aligned with a well-respected, professional team such as NEMCO."(Sacred Power Motorsports PR)(5-23-2012)
