I know that's correct in stick and ball hall of fames but there are several in sprint car hall that were still racing when they entered. IE Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell.
Cowboyhar69, that is definitely NOT the case!! Steve Kinser, was in Inducted in 2005!! He was 10 plus years away from Retiring! Many others haven't fully retired & got in! The Only Requirement is you must turn 50 before they Vote, which is normally around January of every year. 😁👍👍
