Yahoo Autos How NASCAR Fans Can Have Their Say in This Year's Hall of Fame Picks
NASCAR is giving fans a chance to vote for the Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
On Wednesday, the sanctioning body revealed its ballot for the next Hall of Fame class. That list includes three first-time Hall hopefuls. Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson and Johnson's seven-time Cup-winning crew chief Chad Knaus are two of 10 nominees on this year's Modern Era ballot.
Ten-time race-winner Donnie Allison is one of five nominees on the Pioneer ballot, which is designed for drivers who started their careers 60 years ago.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Panel will meet in person to vote for the Class of 2024 and Landmark Award on Wednesday, Aug. 2. The 61-person panel remains unchanged from last year, apart from reigning champion Joey Logano who replaces Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott (both voted last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic delay).
The 62nd vote goes to winners of a NASCAR.com Fan Vote (www.nascar.com/halloffame). Fan voting closes on July 30 at 12:00 a.m. ET.
The Modern Era Ballot and Landmark Award nominees were selected by representatives from NASCAR and the NASCAR Hall of Fame, along with track owners from major facilities and historic short tracks.
The Honors Committee—all living Hall of Famers, past Landmark Award winners and Squier-Hall Award winners—selected the nominees for the Pioneer Ballot.
