Former drivers-turned-owners Glen Wood and Richard Childress are among the 25 nominees for the first NASCAR Hall of Fame induction class.
NASCAR released the two names Wednesday ahead of the announcement of all nominees Thursday night.
Wood helped pioneer the modern-day pit stop, while Childress shares the record of 11 owner championships in NASCAR's three national series.
The first class, consisting of five members, will be inducted in conjunction with the opening of the Hall of Fame in Charlotte next May.
A 21-member committee selected the nominees from NASCAR drivers, owners and promoters.
