Who should be in the HOF, and who is in that shouldn’t be?

[Chewbaccer]

I’d love to hear their justification for leaving out Ralph Moody and Smokey Yunick again. Moody is one of the best teamnowners of all time and not many were more innovative than Yunick

I didn't look up if any of these drivers are not in the HOF.
I don't really have an issue with Dale Jr getting in. He's popular.

[Yankee Traveler]

Over 3000 drivers with fewer than 200 ever getting even a single win. 26 wins is a hell of a lot more than you think. More than numerous Hall of Famers including some that started more races

Yes, but what did they bring to the sport besides wins or winning percentage?
Championships?
Change?
Records set?
Owner of winning teams?

Curtis Turner? Meh.
Mark Martin? 40 wins and runner up how many times? He is Hall of Really Really Good in my book and I was a fan of his. He should have bumped more than he did. Ethics cost him a couple of championships at least.
Ron Hornaday? No.
Davey Allison. Fuck yes.
Buddy Baker? He is in because he was great in the booth as well as being really really good behind the wheel.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Buddy Baker is in with 19 wins and no championships with more races than Jr

Yeah.
Sold me.
Jr is also a commentator and owner.

Ron Hornaday shouldn’t be in as a driver, but withyhim Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson might not have made it to NASCAR at all. He helped many a west coast driver get their start, so I’m fine with him being there as an ambassador or whatever the proper term is

You don’t have to look it up, I’ll tell you.

The only drivers on that list not in the hall are bolded because they’re not eligible yet, Jim Paschal and Ricky Rudd
