It's a long list of worthy racers. My list was quickly assembled to help trigger more great names.
I think it should be a mixed of passed and alive racers. It's always good to hand the award to the winner.
I think the first should be the people who built USAC. That's why I put Duane Carter who ran USAC in the early days.
It's a pick that won't make everybody happy cause their guy didn't make it, but that is why you add every year.
I would suggest they add about 20 to start to cover the builders of USAC to the great that have moved on to bigger things like Stewart.
Just random thoughts.
