NASCAR is giving fans the chance to vote for the Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
On Wednesday, the sanctioning body announced its ballot for the next Hall of Fame class. That list includes three first-time Hall hopefuls. Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson and Johnson’s seven-time Cup-winning crew chief Chad Knaus are two of 10 nominees on this year’s Modern Era ballot.
Ten-time race winner Donnie Allison is one of five nominees on the Pioneer ballot, which is designed for drivers who started their careers 60 years ago.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame voting panel will meet in person on Wednesday, August 2 to vote for the Class of 2024 and Landmark Award. The 61-member panel remains unchanged from last year, with the exception of reigning champion Joey Logano who voted Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott (both voted last year due to the slowdown of the COVID-19 pandemic).
The 62nd vote goes to the winners of a NASCAR.com Fan Vote (www.nascar.com/halloffame). Fan voting closes July 30 at 12pm ET.
The Modern Era Ballot and Landmark Award nominees were selected by representatives of NASCAR and the NASCAR Hall of Fame, along with track owners of major facilities and historic short track speed skating.
The Honors Committee – all living Hall of Famers, former Landmark Award winners and Squier-Hall Award winners – selected the nominees for the Pioneer Ballot.
