First NASCAR Hall of Fame class picked

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After 60 years of racing, months of speculation and a final, spirited discussion among voters, the five men named Wednesday as the first inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame — Bill France Sr., Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Bill France Jr. and Junior Johnson — came as no surprise.

The sport’s founding father and his son (the Frances), the sport’s all-time winningest driver and seven-time champion (Petty), another seven-time champion (Earnhardt) and one of the most successful driver/owners ever (Johnson) will be inducted into the new Hall of Fame on May 23, 2010.

If there was a surprise, it was that David Pearson, the sport’s second winningest driver, missed out on making the inaugural class.
