Hall of Fame:

Sam Ard, who in only three seasons became one of the greatest competitors in the NASCAR Busch Series, and the late Alan Kulwicki, a Wisconsin-born driver whose tenacity led him to the pinnacle of NASCAR Winston Cup racing, have been elected to the National Motorsports Press Associations Hall of Fame. Both drivers received the required majority of votes cast by the Press Membership of the NMPA. They will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame at a special banquet and ceremonies at Darlington Country Club on Sept. 4, the night before the running of the 50th Pepsi Southern 500 Winston Cup race at Darlington Raceway. For the first time, TOSCO 76 will serve as the host of the banquet and ceremonies.
