Kenseth, Shelmerdine, and McGriff into NASCAR Hall of Fame
Matt Kenseth, Kirk Shelmerdine, and Hershel McGriff were inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Matt Kenseth won the 2003 NASCAR championship (if I remember right, the first playoff championship). Shelmerdine was with Dale Earnhardt SR to help him with his seven championships, and McGriff won a few races...he raced in 2018 at the age of 90. I can't remember that, but how awesome is that?
The only name of the three I know is Matt Kenseth. I watched him race against Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Gordon got his first punishment against Kenseth. They were racing at Bristol, Kenseth as leading and got booted from the lead, Gordon as third and on the last lap Kenseth wrecked Gordon. Immediately came over to apologize (Gordon still had helmet on) Gordon was mad and pushed Kenseth. Kenseth later said he should have waited a bit before apologizing...but NASCAR punished Gordon for pushing Kenseth.
15 more days until the Clash at Bristol!
29 long days until the Daytona 500! We are slowly getting there y'all!
