NASCAR Hall Of fame Inductees

From ESPN: Dale Jarrett had no idea what crazy things Blake Shelton might say as the country music star inducted him into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
"It could have gone in a lot of different directions," Jarrett said of Shelton's induction speech.
Shelton read a handwritten and heartfelt speech about his love of racing, inherited through his late father, who as his health declined was so thrilled that his son got to hang with some of NASCAR's biggest stars.
Jarrett on occasion spoke to Shelton's father on the phone.
"I believe it was little things like that that kept my dad happy those last few years," Shelton said. "And even though I know he was beyond proud of my accomplishments in music, he just couldn't get over the fact that I got to spend time with guys like Clint Bowyer and Elliott Sadler, and most of all, Dale Jarrett."
It set the tone for Jarrett's emotional induction. He joined his father, Ned, as just the second father-son combination with NASCAR championships inducted into the Hall.
The Jarretts join Lee and Richard Petty....
Maurice Petty is the first engine builder inducted into the Hall. His engines won seven titles and more than 200 races, including seven Daytona 500s.
Also in the Hall from the Petty Enterprise dynasty is patriarch Lee Petty, and the Petty boys' cousin and crew chief, Dale Inman.
"Who would have thought growing up that there would be four of us, out of a small, rural country community that would be in a North Carolina Hall of Fame?" said Maurice Petty of the family's roots in Level Cross.
Fireball Roberts, considered the first superstar of NASCAR, was the second member inducted. He won Daytona seven times, including the 1962 Daytona 500, and had two Southern 500 victories.
He ran just 10 races in 1958, winning six. He died from critical burns suffered in a crash at Charlotte in 1964 when his car overturned and caught fire.
Roberts, who suffered from asthma, had always refused to soak his firesuit in flame retardant chemicals because of the fumes.  http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/story/_/id/10372967/maurice-petty-completes-petty-clan-nascar-hall-fame
There are only 20 members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, so to be even thought of being in the Hall is a great honor.
And just think of all the drivers driving today who will eventually make it in: Mark Martin, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Michael Waltrip and maybe some others.
