The ballot includes three categories broken into Modern, Pioneer covering those whose careers began over 60 years ago and the Landmark Award for those who have made outstanding contributions to the NASCAR in varying roles.

2003 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Matt Kenseth has been added to the Modern Era list in his first year of eligibility with two-time Cup Series champion crew chief Tim Brewer. Kenseth’s last full season came in 2017, but he ran all but the first four races of 2020 when he filled in at Chip Ganassi Racing for Kyle Larson, who had been suspended for the season.

AJ Foyt, who won the 1972 Daytona 500 along with his four Indy 500s, joins the Pioneer ballot this year with Sam Ard, a two-time champ of what’s now known as the Xfinity Series.
