Just turned it on and see Jack Ingram is an inductee. Don't know if I've missed anyone already.

Tim Flock raced with a freaking monkey in his car 8 times and won a race with him Hickory.

Tim had a Rhesus monkey co-driver named "Jocko Flocko" with him in his May 16, 1953 Grand National win at Hickory Motor Speedway. Jocko Flocko became the only winning monkey ever. The monkey was retired two weeks later at Raleigh, where the monkey pulled the device to allow the driver to observe the right front tire and was hit by a pebble. At the time, drivers used a device to lift the wheel well to observe tire wear in case of a tire failing). Tim had to do a pit stop to remove the monkey, and he finished third (he would have won without the problem). [8]
