Five. Over 60 years of racing history, and only five drivers will be inducted. <P> While a Hall of Fame induction should indeed be an elite achievement, I think NASCAR is taking things just a little too slow off the line. <P> I won't run through the list of nominees, you can find that yourself at NASCAR.com, I will however question why a few of them are listed. Not because the lack in contributing to NASCAR, but because they're still active in the sport. <P> Rick Hendrick and Richard Childress are nominees -- nothing wrong with that in five or ten years, but they're still very active in the sport and appear to have a lot of time left. Life expectancy shouldn't be a deciding factor, but if someone deserves to be in the hall of fame -- why wait until they're gone? <P> And why limit inductees to five, especially the first year? This year and each successive year, only five drivers will be inducted. It will take until 2019 just to get NASCAR's own list of the top 50 drivers of all time inducted. Along the way, many of the potential inductee's from NASCAR's early years will have passed on, never getting to receive the recognition they deserve. <P> I mentioned a bit earlier in the column that fans get to vote -- and they do. But don't get too excited. Your vote and mine all combine together to equal 1/50th of a vote. It holds no more and no less weight than anyone else on the panel, but it still seems a bit on the weak side. <P> I applaud NASCAR for finally getting the NASCAR Hall of Fame going, but am disappointed in the first lap. <P> <B><I>Race to the Chase Actually has my Attention</I></B> <P> I've complained about the Chase format for a long time, and likewise the race to the chase. This season however, I'm finding it a bit exciting. This is only due to the fact that as a Kyle Busch fan, watching him on the bubble has made this part of the season more important and more thrilling than seasons past. This same thrill I'm sure is being experienced by fans of Bowyer, Kenseth, Kahne, Vickers and Martin who are all within 100 points of each other. <P> Six drivers whose post-season racing will either be as championship contenders or pretty much just for fun (and money). While it is exciting for me this time around, I don't think that in the big scheme of things it really matters -- it's an artificial excitement that in my opinion takes away from the championship race. I'll try and make this the last time I complain about it out loud -- because no amount of complaining will end the Chase or the top-35 rule or any of the other parts of NASCAR that the fans don't care for. <P> As is said all too often... it is what it is. <BR> <BR> <P> Follow Brian on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/DebrisCaution" target="new"><font color="000099">@DebrisCaution</font></a> <P> <BR> <BR> <center> <img src="http://insiderracingnews.com/Images/Misc/RedPointer2.gif" Width="18" Height="12"> <b><font color="ff0000" size="+1"><I>You can contact Brian Watkins at </font></B>..<a href="mailto:wbrianwatkins@gmail.com"> <b><font color="ff0000" size="+1">Insider Racing News</i></font></B></a> <BR> <img src="http://insiderracingnews.com/Images/Misc/RedPointer2.gif" Width="18" Height="12"> <a class="nd" href="http://insiderracingnews.com/Writers/BW/redirect.html"><b><font color="ff0000" size="+1"><I>You Can Read Other Articles By Brian Watkins</I></font></b></a> </center> <br> <p style="border:1px solid #FF0000;padding:5px;font:11px verdana;"> The thoughts and ideas expressed by this writer or any other writer on Insider Racing News, are not necessarily the views of the staff and/or management of IRN.</p> </font> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </center> <P> <center><B><Font color="ffff00" size="+2"><i>St. Jude Children's Research Hospital</i></font></B></center> <p align="center"><A HREF="http://www2.stjude.org/"><img src="http://insiderracingnews.com/Images/Logos/2007/StJude.gif" border="0" width="267" height="68"></a><A HREF="http://www2.stjude.org/ways_to_help/partners_in_hope/message_from_marlo.cfm" target="new"><img src="http://insiderracingnews.com/Images/Logos/2007/StJude2.jpg" border="0" width="165" height="68"></a><center><B><Font color="ff0000">Finding cures</B> <i>for</i> <B>children with catastrophic<br> illnesses</B> <i>through</i> <B>research</B> <i>and</i> <B>treatment</B></font></center> <br> <!-- BEGIN INLIVE CODE -- Inlive need of AddFreestats button code!
