The inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame contains many including Dale Earnhardt, Bill France Sr., Bill France Jr., Richard Petty and Junior Johnson. In their contribution, each of these men were giants of the sport. Bill France JR. helped to further the organization after his father Bill France Sr. found the NASCAR organization. I don't even need to introduce Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty as popular and successful drivers and owners. Junior Johnson is an owner that won six championships as a team owner.

Charlotte

NASCAR is special in North Carolina. Many of one of the most famous and greatest NASCAR drivers, including 3 members of the first class to be inducted to the NASCAR Hall of Fame came from North Carolina. In Charlotte there are 3 major races. Also, according to Wikipedia, almost three-fourths of all motorsports employees work in Charlotte, North Carolina. Aside from Daytona Beach, that’s about as heavily NASCAR country as you are able to possibly get. Also, the NASCAR Hall of Fame is owned by the city. It will bring in tourists and plenty of employment. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is deserved and should to the public good.
