International Motorsports Hall of Fame


The International Motorsports Hall of Fame is a Hall of Fame dedicated to enshrining those who have contributed the most to the sports of auto racing and motorized boat racing either as a driver, owner, developer or engineer. Although people of many nationalities have been inducted the majority of inductees chosen are American drivers who competed in domestic series. Only three non-Americans have been inducted since 2003.

Founding

It was founded in 1990 by Bill France, Jr., the son of the founder of NASCAR, and is currently located in Lincoln, Alabama, adjacent to Talladega Superspeedway.

Qualifications

To be nominated, the person must be retired from their specialty in motorsports for at least five years unless approved on special means. They are voted on by a 150-member panel from the American auto racing media.
Due to the opening of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, there was no class of 2010.
