2012 NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductees

The NASCAR Hall of Fame's Class of 2012 is built on pure performance.

The hall's third class, announced Tuesday, includes two of the most dominating drivers at the sport's highest level - Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip. Another - Richie Evans - won so many races in NASCAR's modified series that somebody lost count along the way.

Then there are talented and innovative leaders in the pits and the garage - crew chief Dale Inman and owner Glen Wood.

"I like this class," said Waltrip, whose 84 Cup victories in 1972-2000 are tied for third all-time with Jeff Gordon and Bobby Allison (who was inducted last month). "I like it a lot."

The hall used its first two classes to not only honor the sport's top drivers - seven of them, including Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, David Pearson and Allison. But there also was a sense of honoring the past by including founder Bill France Sr., and his successor and son Bill France Jr.
