The 25 names were determined by a 21-member nominating committee that consists of officials from both NASCAR and the NASCAR Hall of Fame, as well as owners/operators of major speedways and historic short tracks. The list is reported to include individuals who helped build the sport.
The big announcement and countdown will take place during an hour-long special on SPEED (8pm ET/5pm PT) that will be hosted by long-time NASCAR broadcaster Ken Squier.
