History
Established in 1989 at the Novi Expo Center in Novi, Michigan, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America honors those who have "driven, piloted, owned, designed, built, supported, maintained, prepared or promoted motorized vehicles in pursuit of speed, distance or other records; or in racing, endurance, or other competition."
Nominees must have been involved in the top level of an area of motor sports for at least 20 years, or must be retired for at least three years.
Election to the hall of fame is by a panel of prior inductees, retired competitors, journalists, and historian of motor sports. Induction takes place in June, on the Wednesday before the Detroit Grand Prix.
The hall also includes a 20,000-square-foot museum that houses more than 40 racing and high performance vehicles.
