I don't really have any issues with it. Although I think it may be too soon for Evernham. Hornaday did set some high marks in the trucks division and should be recognized.

I think Byron should have been in years ago, if only because he was the first Champion - and all of the Champions deserve a spot in the HoF.

 

There aren't many who have accomplished what Yates did as an engine builder and successfully transitioning to a team owner. Well deserved.

 

I agree with the sentiment that its a little early for Evernham. Is he deserving? Sure, but are there others deserving who could go in before him? Probably.

 

I am ok with Squier.

 

I guess if you look at Hornaday for his accomplishments with the Truck Series when it was in its infancy, and his short track accomplishments before that then he is deserving as well. Personally, I never was a fan so I may be a little skewed in my view.
