[edit] History

Longtime motorsport journalist Bill Holder proposed creating a Hall of Fame for Late Models in 2001. The first class of inductees was at the annual North-South 100 at Florence Speedway in August 2001. Each class is inducted at the annual North-South event.

[edit] Induction process

The voting board consists of 30 car builders, media, promoters, sanctioning body heads, and engine builders. The board votes for five active drivers with at least fifteen years of experience, five major contributors to the sport, and five drivers who are retired for at least five years.[3]
