And Larry Phillips.. Wasn't on my radar. I'm not overly familiar with him, but.. Guy won 38 of 40 starts one season. Yeah. That'll do it.

That's now 19 names. 6 spots left.


Jimmie Johnson
Kevin Harvick
Kyle Busch
Matt Kenseth
Kurt Busch


Again.. I see no way those names are not locks.

So.. I'd say Clint is out. I have no problem with that.



But.. It also means, only Brad or Joey gets in. And perhaps neither.


Both.. More deserving than some drivers already in.

Yeah both champions one a 2 time how is that possible... kind of discredits the whole deal, when you look at some that are in like Kasey Kahne?!

Looking forward to hearing Carl Edwards in the booth at Darlington.

He probably wouldn't be at the track if it wasn't for his nomination.

[Labonte18]

4 spots left.


Jimmie Johnson
Kevin Harvick
Matt Kenseth

Joey Logano


Ok.. SOMEWHERE.. I missed that Brad is in. So.. I see no way those are not the final 4.

[Labonte18]

Harvick.. I thought they were saving him for last.

So.. Johnson, Kenseth and Logano I believe have to be the final 3.

I suppose they're saving Johnson to the end? Seems anti-climatic. Everyone knows he'll be on it.

[USNRET04]

So you thought they would save the Closer to close it out? That would have been fun.

My money is on 7-time. It is anti-climatic, but seems like the right thing to do at this point.

Yeah, I did.. I figured with him retiring this year, they'd make a big deal out of it.

[Labonte18]

There's Joey. So.. Matt and Jimmie would seem to be the final two.

Kenseth was pretty funny on Twitter. Mentioned how he felt sorry for his good friend Jimmy not making it.

Yeah, saw that. I mean.. Why make Johnson last? We pretty much had this nailed after we got down to the final 10 or so, but.. Johnson was just a total no brainer.

Well, I guess "is" such a no brainer, since they haven't quite announced it yet.

Maybe, also, you announce all of them at once in conjunction with the All Star Race. Don't know about that. One at a time stretches out the process and makes it 'live' a bit longer, so I understand doing it this way. And, there's some logic with finishing up at Darlington race weekend.

I'm sure marketing people know more than I do. Well.. Other than Bud Light marketing people..
