NASCAR Sprint Cup team owner Richard Childress was added to the list of 25 initial candidates for the NASCAR Hall of Fame Wednesday.

Add Richard Childress and Glen Wood to the list of 25 initial candidates for the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip, who are tied at third all-time in Cup victories with 84 apiece, were announced as nominees Tuesday, and Childress and Wood were announced Wednesday by NASCAR.
Both Childress and Wood were drivers but made more of a name for themselves as owners. Wood collaborated with his brothers to form Wood Brothers Racing, which has 96 victories dating back to 1950. Childress formed Richard Childress Racing in 1972 and retired from driving in 1981. Dale Earnhardt drove for him full time from 1984 to the beginning of 2001, winning six Cup titles. RCR drivers have won 89 races.
The sanctioning body will announce all 25 nominees Thursday night.
A panel of 48 voters will select the five members of the inaugural class, which will be inducted in May 2010. One of the 48 votes will come from a collective fan vote done on NASCAR’s official Web site, www.NASCAR.com.
| 1 | Jimmie Johnson | 6248 |
| 2 | Mark Martin | -184 |
| 3 | Jeff Gordon | -192 |
| 4 | Juan Pablo Montoya | -239 |
| 5 | Tony Stewart | -279 |
| 6 | Kurt Busch | -312 |
| 7 | Greg Biffle | -340 |
| 8 | Ryan Newman | -402 |

| 10 | Carl Edwards | -437 |

Jul 1, 2009 at 7:16 PMNeither should be in the HOF at the start. Childress is still active! For drivers to be eligible, they have to be retired for a certain timespan. Let's apply that to 'others' as well.
Report as AbuseGlen Wood deserves to be in, years before Childress. What is NASCAR thinking, with their nominees?

Jul 1, 2009 at 8:37 PMRichard Petty and Dale Earnhardt should be two of the first to go in, they are the only drivers to win 7 championships. Maybe Glen and Richard should go in on down the line but I don't think they should go in the first five.
