Nascar This Week 8 - the Derrick
NASCAR THIS WEEK 8 - THE DERRICK. / The News-Herald Wednesday, April 15, 2020 QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers Is Junior Earnhardt a first-ballot lock for the Hall of Fame? Absolutely, especially compar- ing his overall numbers to some already enshrined. His 26 Cup Series wins (including two Day- tona 500s) and two Busch Series championships might fall short of what many Earnhardt fans had hoped or expected from him, but the numbers them- selves are enough, and when you consider all those “Most Popular Driver” awards, there’s no way he doesn’t make it in his first year of eligibility. Any surprises on that ballot? Just one of omission: Geoff Bodine, who has yet to make a list of nominees. Buddy Baker made the Hall of Fame with 19 career Cup wins and one Daytona 500. Bodine has 18 wins and a Daytona 500, but also piled up amazing numbers in Late Model racing before coming to NASCAR. You can’t dismiss that, considering Jerry Cook and Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s impact on the sport should make him a first-ballot Hall of Famer. [N-J/NIGEL COOK] Richie Evans are in the NASCAR Hall based on their Late Model careers. Not sure why Bodine remains overlooked. Who joins Junior? I like Red Farmer from the Pio- Predicting the 2021 neer Ballot, and unless someone can explain why Kirk Shelmer- dine doesn’t match up with the other crew chiefs already inducted, I’m not sure how you NASCAR Hall of Fame class ignore a four-time champion.
