NASCAR champions Ned and Dale Jarrett were inducted into Lowe’s Motor Speedway’s Court of Legends Tuesday afternoon as part of the week-long festivities leading up to Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. The Jarretts are the first father and son to be enshrined in the speedway’s Court of Legends and the induction ceremony included having their signatures, footprints and handprints immortalized in concrete near the track’s main entrance. They are the 21st and 22nd members of the Court of Legends, joining fellow NASCAR legends such as Richard Petty, David Pearson, Benny Parsons, Bobby Allison, Junior Johnson, Darrell Waltrip and Terry Labonte. Dale Jarrett’s induction came just four days before he climbs into the #44 UPS Toyota Camry for the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, his final career start in stock car racing’s premier division.
