Polls open for NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2018 Fan Vote – Nascar

HALL OF FAME: Cast your vote today!

Since NASCAR’s start in 1948, fans have been the cornerstone of the sport — their voices vital, heard and acted upon.

So, it made perfect sense that when NASCAR assembled the original Voting Panel for the NASCAR Hall of Fame’s inaugural Class of 2010, the sanctioning body made sure the fans had a say in who earned the sport’s highest honor.

And today, that tradition continues.

Polls are now open for the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2018 Fan Vote. To vote, visit NASCAR.com/halloffame.

Fans are once again asked to cast votes for up to five nominees for inclusion into the Class of 2018, and can vote up to 50 times per day. The five nominees who receive the most votes will count as one of the 54 votes cast by the Voting Panel on NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Day on May 24. The polls close May 22.
